1.0 Webcam Cover Slide 3 Pack | Sliding Laptop Camera Blocker | 1.5” x 0.5” by 1.5mm Thin | Camera Blocker for Computers, Tablets, Echos, Chromebook & More | Make Security a Priority | Black

This is actually my 2nd order. First set was purchased a year ago and that is what's still on my laptops. I ordered 2nd set thinking I can definitely use it for other devices but really never got to it. Please keep in mind that the review is based on personal actual experience and certain particular laptop models were used for the review.PERFORMANCEIt does exactly how it was advertised or what it's supposed to do. It slides very easily yet smoothly. And not too loose where it can cause to slide back and forth involuntarily.DURABILITYI personally think its sturdy enough considering what it was designed to be for. Stronger, heavier material will only cause it to create the item more bulky. And luckily for me, the adhesive hasn't weakened at all for a year now. I do use my laptop in a high humid area.INSTALLATIONTrying to install wasn't hard at all and took almost no time whatsoever. What needs to be considered is how you're going to place it so that it's most efficient and won't block any of the camera, microphone(s) and indicator light(s).As seen in the picture, I have placed so that the camera lens and indicator light is not blocked when in use. If the slider is completely moved to the left side, it does block the left microphone. When closed, it doesn't block any of the microphones. However, I can work around this by adjusting the slide so that it's not moved completely to the left. It may block a little bit of the camera, but not the lens (circular part) itself so it was no problem. And this allows both microphones unblocked. Not sure why you would want the indicator light portion shown when the camera lens is covered. I believe the indicator light is only effective when actually in use.SIDE NOTEMy current laptop's palm rest sits slightly above the laptop's border frame with no "lip" on the base (keypad) frame. There is a "lip" on the screen frame. Despite how slim the C-Slide is, over period of time or quickly, it will cause some type of physical damage as shown in one of the pictures below the trackpad right button key. Luckily, it hasn't affected the performance on the button key at all. I don't think it ever will, at least for my laptop.Also it creates a slight gap when the laptop is completely closed. Personally, this particularly doesn't really bother me nor affects anything.I'm planning to look and buy some very thin felt (very soft cushion) pad with adhesive to apply on opposite sides of the microphones to use as support and possibly prevent any further physical damage(s).I had originally planned to take off 1 star of the rating for the damage. But honestly, the physical damage wasn't the C-Slide fault. I personally strongly believe the damage was due to poor design on the laptop. And not sure if these sliders can get any thinner than this is already to perform well.I have another laptop (touch screen, gaming) which has no problem with this product. The gaming laptop does close completely with no gap and no damage whatsoever. Can gladly provide pictures if needed.CONCLUSIONI personally think this item was designed mainly for certain and not all laptops. It may work well on any devices that has a camera with no cover and camera's lens diameter no wider than at max roughly half an inch, which is roughly the size of the open/close window of C-Slide.Just keep in mind... how well this C-Slide will or will not work/damage for you, all depends on the model of your laptop/device(s).

I mean they are a simple product to start with. But these are good quality. They are easy to use, very slim, and work exactly as they should. The adhesive tape that make them stick is strong and long lasting and when I peeled it off to reposition the cover it did not leave any tacky or sticky residue, an added plus. My only complaint if I had to have one is these may block your web came indicator light. My laptop has the web came and indicator light just far enough apart that I cant position the cover to cover both of them, and just close enough that if i just try covering just the web cam the edge of the cover with the adhesive is on top of the indicator light. But that's just my laptop, so I don't really see that as a down side. Over all I recommend these for sure.

works like it should, but just know that if your laptop screen goes all the way to the edge, then this cover slide will be poking out onto your screen just a little bit

The C-SLIDE 1.0 Webcam Cover is a game-changer for privacy-conscious individuals. This sleek and easy-to-use slide provides a quick solution to safeguard your webcam when not in use. With a slim profile and durable design, it's the perfect blend of simplicity and effectiveness. For anyone seeking peace of mind and added security, the C-SLIDE 1.0 is a must-have accessory for laptops and devices.

Updated review:Lowering to 1 star. I should've listened to the other reviewers complaining that this thing cracked their screen. It just happened to me on a MacBook Pro 13". A crack just starting from the corner of the cam blocker. There's something flawed in this design.I had the previous version, which was more like an oval, it was thicker but I used it for 3 years on the same machine and never a problem. This thin one surprisingly is a screen killer.Original review (4 stars):C-Slide used to make a really good design but I guess is used too much plastic. This version is flimsy, though you don't need thick/sturdy plastic for the purpose, but closing and opening it feels a bit wrong and wobbly.Seems to be safe for MacBook Pro. Been using for 2 weeks now and no issue. Wonder how someone can crack a screen with this thing. The previous version was even bulkier and still on another MacBook Pro without causing issues.Did I help you with this review? :)

I reviewed this for [...]. The C-Slide Plastic Webcam Cover works as designed and is effective but is not a practical solution for use on cell phones, tablets, or laptops. It would be better suited to larger fixed applications like webcams used with televisions or desktop computers.The GoodThe cover sticks to the surface with double-stick tape and the cover slides side to side to open and close, so there is only one moving part and no pieces to keep track of while in use.The BadThe cover is large at 40mm long, making it nearly impossible to use on a laptop without covering the indicator light, microphone, or ambient light sensor when in the open or closed position. It is also impractical to use on a cell phone because the cover sticks out to one side when open and the other side when closed, always leaving part of the cover protruding where it will easily snag.ConclusionThe C-Slide Plastic Webcam Cover is a reasonable choice for larger fixed position cameras in meeting rooms or televisions but is not a practical choice for use with smartphones, tablets, or laptop computers.Read the full review at [...]
