O Ozone Webcam Cover Slider (UNV-OZ-04-X8) Review: 8-Pack Privacy Protection?

In today’s digitally connected world, online privacy is paramount. With the increasing prevalence of webcam hacking and unintended video captures, a physical webcam cover offers a simple yet effective solution. I recently tested the O Ozone Camera Cover Webcam Slider (UNV-OZ-04-X8), an 8-pack of ultra-thin privacy covers, to see if it lives up to its claims of providing reliable and unobtrusive protection. After weeks of use across various devices, here’s my in-depth review.

The O Ozone covers boast an ultra-thin design (0.8mm), promising minimal interference with laptop lid closure. The simple slide mechanism is intuitive and requires just a single finger to operate. The strong adhesive ensures secure attachment, yet removal is easy and leaves no sticky residue. The package includes eight covers, providing ample spares for multiple devices or replacements.

I tested these covers on my MacBook Pro, a Windows laptop, an iPhone, and even a smart display. The ultra-thin profile held true; the covers did not interfere with lid closure on any device. The adhesive was surprisingly strong, and the covers remained firmly attached throughout my testing period. The slide mechanism proved smooth and reliable, with no sticking or resistance. I appreciated the ease of application and removal; switching between covered and uncovered states was seamless. The covers effectively blocked the camera lens, ensuring complete privacy. Overall, performance was excellent.

While the adhesive held strongly, I did notice a slight, almost imperceptible lifting of the edges on my macbook after several weeks of use. This is only a minor concern and did not affect the functionality of the covers in any way. Also, the black color is quite neutral and didn’t detract from the aesthetics of my devices.

Pros:

  • Ultra-thin design
  • Strong adhesive
  • Easy to use slide mechanism
  • Compatible with various devices
  • Eight covers in a pack
  • Easy removal, no residue

Cons:

  • Slight edge lifting after extended use (minor)
  • No significant cons noted.

The O Ozone Camera Cover Webcam Slider (UNV-OZ-04-X8) delivers on its promises of effective privacy protection without compromising on convenience. The ultra-thin design, strong adhesive, and smooth slide mechanism make this a top choice for anyone looking to enhance their online security. While minor edge lifting was noted over time, it didn’t impact functionality. I highly recommend this product for its value, practicality, and ease of use.
