Webcam Privacy Cover for Dell Latitude E7480

I'm a big fan of simple web cam privacy stickers and even better, web cam slider covers that allow you to easily leave your web cam on your laptop covered and open it as you see fit.   These web cam covers are much better than a post-it note or electrical tape that most people use to cover their camera.

I originally had a Dell Latitude E7470 laptop, and found that just about every webcam privacy cover you could find online would work for it, as the bezel was pretty big.  I used this Steagle one : https://amzn.to/2H8XB0Y   Unfortunately, this web cam privacy cover (for an e7470) is pricey at $9.00 for one, but it is definitely of high quality.

But the Dell Latitude E7480 is a different animal.  The upper bezel on the monitor is much thinner on the E7480 vs the E7470.   In fact, most web cam privacy covers will not fit, they are too "tall" to fit properly on the bezel.    I was fortunate to find a winner, that is also isn't terribly expensive that is a good webcam cover for either a E7470 or E7480 Latitude Dell.   The Sunshot magnet .7mm Thin magnet slider, which you can get on Amazon fits well.  This unit is only $5.99 for 2.   Its a perfect fit for the small bezel of the e7480.  I'll have to use it for a while to see how it holds up (if the adhesive continues to stick.
