The cover, depending on what it's made of, might be less messy (no sticky residue) and more reusable than a strip of electrical tape.

- dredmorbius 12y agoA small bit of paper (I use a Post-It dot) under the tape will protect the lens just fine.
- SAI_Peregrinus 12y agoI have a desktop, so the webcam clips onto the monitor. I just face it out the window at my bird feeder when not in use. Anyone hacking it can watch cute finches.
- dredmorbius 12y agoMind that depending on whom it is that's controlling the camera, that's still information. Daylight, sunrise/sunset, whether or not you've artificial light on (and hence: may or may not be home), etc. I'd prefer a more robust mode of disabling the camera myself. For an external cam, powering it off would be my first preference.
- yepnopemaybe 12y agoyeah, it tends to obscure the image eventually. Also, I personally found it difficult to keep the habit. Tape is also kind of a slur on the design integrity of Apple products, which I tried to cut down on on my design.
