00:00Okay, so here's a weird question for you, when was the last time you actually looked at your
00:04laptop camera? Because right now, there's a little lens staring back at you, and there's
00:09no real way to know if it's on. That's exactly why webcam covers blew up, and I went digging
00:15through the listings to find the 5 best ones people are actually buying. Let's get into it.
00:21First up is this adhesive slider privacy cover, and honestly this is the one I'd hand to a friend
00:26who just wants the problem solved. It sticks on with a strong adhesive pad, it's ultra-thin,
00:31so your laptop still closes flat, and the slider moves with a satisfying little click,
00:36so you always know where it's at. Works on tablets, phones, monitors, whatever.
00:42It's $1.68, it's sold nearly 5,000 units, and it's sitting at a 4.9 rating.
00:48That's about as safe a bet as it gets. Next, this sliding webcam cover comes in packs of 1,
00:545, 10, or 20, and that multi-pack option is the real selling point here.
00:59Because let's be real, you don't just have one camera in your life.
01:03There's the work laptop, the personal laptop, the tablet, the kid's Chromebook, the old monitor.
01:09Grabbing a 20-pack means you cover everything in the house in one afternoon and still have spares.
01:15Starting at $1.39, this is the cheapest way to lock down every device you own.
01:20Now if you want the absolute budget pick, this magnetic slider cover is $0.32.
01:26$0.32.
01:28And it's not junk either, it's a rigid plastic shutter with a magnet-assisted slide,
01:33so it doesn't drift open in your bag the way some flimsy ones do.
01:37Over $4,600 sold.
01:39Look, for the price of literally nothing, you get to stop wondering whether some sketchy app is peeking at you.
01:46Buy a handful and stop thinking about it.
01:49Then we've got this magnet slider cover, and this is the premium feel of the group.
01:54It's got a sturdier plastic body, a smoother magnetic action, and it just feels more solid under your thumb,
02:00less like a sticker and more like an actual piece of hardware.
02:03It's $3.37, so it's the priciest here, but it's got a perfect 5-star rating across $4,600 sales.
02:11If you're putting one on a machine you use every single day, this is the one worth spending on.
02:16And rounding it out, the B03C universal cover, which does something the others don't, it's also dustproof.
02:23That lens cap design seals the camera off completely, so you're not getting grit and lint building up in the
02:29housing over the years.
02:30It's universal fit for MacBooks, laptops, pretty much anything.
02:35$2.22, 5-star rating, $4,500 sold.
02:39Great pick if you keep your gear for the long haul.
