This product does what it is supposed to do and very easy to install. Simple design with three color options of black, gray and white. However, using it on a MacBook Air will leave a small gap when you close your laptop because the product is not that thin.

A friend suggested that I "upgrade" from tape over the webcam on my laptop to an open & close cover. This item fit the bill. It's easy to attach to the laptop. It opens and closes smoothly.

In this time of distance learning, it is nice to be certain that the camera is off. I am a teacher, and use it when admitting students while continuing to prepare my classroom. The cover is easier to access than the toggle on the screen, and it can be used in any screen configuration.

The covers work great and are easy to apply and use. The packaging is way over the top. Almost broke the covers trying to get them out of the package.

They work fine, but be careful installing

I am using these on a Dell laptop and an 12" iPad. They work fine, but be warned: make sure the mounting surface is good and clean. Also, the initial installation will feel like it's not really sticking. Be patient; the adhesive will eventually get stronger.

At first I thought this might be a little bit of an expensive purchase, but then I realize that there are three covers in the pack. I use this on my phone, tablet and laptop. I think it is good to cover one’s camera on their electronics. I’d recommend this product.

This is a really simple and effective way to block your laptop's or tablet's camera if you're worried about activation by outsiders. We installed one for a 95-year-old friend (JUST getting on the internet for the first time), and he's happy as a clam.

I like this little jigger. Could offer more resistance so it doesn't slide open every time the laptop moves, but it's a lot better than the electrical tape I used before.

Don't want to use tape to block your webcam cause it looks ugly, but are paranoid about being spied on? Then get this thing. It looks like its part of the device and if you actually need to use the webcam, it smoothly slides open. I have one on my computer and phone.

I work in an environment where we are not allowed to use cameras. This Web cam cover allows me to bring my laptop to work because I can cover the camera. It was easy to install and doesn't take away from the looks of the laptop.

These webcam covers are excellent for keeping hackers from seeing what you're doing! The 3 pack let me cover multiple web cameras & I love it! The camera is opened when I want to use it, not when spyware or hackers are in use.

Does what it is supposed to do. The only drawbacks are as follows: a little thick for my laptop, so it doesn’t close as completely as it used to, and the sliding portion is a bit flimsy, so it sags a bit.

I was looking for a webcam cover for my iMac. Most covers are too small for the iMac camera. This is the right size. Also, since it's black, it blends in with the black border around the screen so it's barely noticeable. Other covers can be distracting.
