LZYDD Webcam C270 C310 Privacy Shutter Cover Shell Case for Logitech HD C270 C310 C505 (Upgraded)

I like Logitech devices. But sometimes Logitech drop the ball so hard, the planet shakes. And so it is with the C270 webcam. When I bought my C270, some time ago, it was one of the most popular webcams on the market. So it was a crazy oversight by Logitech to not fit the camera with even a rudimentary lens cover. I have been getting round the problem until now, by unplugging the webcam when not in use. But I finally got sick of the stray USB-A cable-end on my desk, and went looking for a privacy shutter. Like other reviewers have said, your choices boil down to round adhesive shutters that look awful, and usually cover the camera 'on' light, or this one. I don't begrudge anyone making a profit, but geez Louise! this thing is bonkers over-priced. But seeing as it seems to be the only 'proper' privacy shutter made for the C270 on planet Earth, I've been left with no choice. The only up-side, is that the shutter itself is good quality, fits the C270 perfectly and securely, and the shutter hinge has enough resistance, that it will stay open even when horizontal to the camera. The only down side (apart from the ludicrous price), is that the shutter covers the camera-on light. So the camera's microphone could potentially be on on behind the closed shutter. A small transparent window that allows you to see the camera light would make this shutter perfect. I got around the issue, by transferring my video call audio over to my desk mic. It kind of makes me want to get into basic 3D printing. So I can make basic things like this myself.

Good product, fits well.

Perfect fit, works as expected easy to put on and able to flip the cover up and down. No issue. It fits perfect for this webcam model.

Fits my Logitech C270 HD webcam perfectly and works as expected.Obviously ridiculously expensive for a small piece of plastic.

I feel this should be cheaper but there are limited number of options for these cameras so it's somewhat of a captive market. It snaps over the camera body and provides a large flap at the front that is used to cover the front of the webcam for privacy. It's exactly what would be expected from the picture and works just as it should.The only issue I'd have with this design is it means the "active" LED on the camera is covered so, whilst not recording video, the audio may be getting recorded without your knowledge when the flap is down. Drilling a small hole in it would resolve this issue but obviously prevent returning it.

Ok, so it IS pricey for a piece of plastic but it does work perfectly and looks better than a bit of tape.

Good quality and does what it says.
