Can you suggest me some camera covers? [T520/X201]
So, I would like a couple covers that work like the ThinkShutter, which these two machines are of course too old to have. I looked at the EFF (would not mind supporting a worthwhile cause) but they offer only stickers.
Anyone here familiar with a ThinkCentric retailer of laptop camera covers?

Cut a small square of electrical tape. Problem solved.
I have it on all of my systems with a camera installed.

These generally work well for me:

But you may have to mount them vertically on these Thinkpads, as the bezel isn't flat enough there.

I'm aware of the tape solution, I just thought it would be nice with something with a red dot or whatever.
dr_st: Thanks, let me look into those.

Just paint a red dot on the tape! Or use a small piece of red duct tape.

STAPLES has this set on clearance, but only in stores. I think it was like $3 or so.
