Product Description The EyePatch Case is unlike any other. A simple switch protects your front and rear phone cameras from the elements and creepy hackers. Each time you slide the EyePatch switch open or closed, the fiber interior wipes your lens clean no more using your sleeve to get rid of fingerprints or smudges. You can't hack a piece of plastic: It's becoming increasingly easy for hackers to gain access to your phone and inevitably, your camera. Malware is becoming more sophisticated and inexpensive. It's happening right now on laptops and many Android phones, and only a matter of time before it's common on all devices. Our elegant design doesn't take away from the look of your phone. The sturdy silicone rubber case protects your screen on all sides but doesn't obstruct the speakers, Thunderbolt, or Headphone ports on the bottom of your phone so it's easy to drop right into a dock. The silicone rubber case has a lip around the front of the phone, so that your screen will not be damaged if you drop it on its face. From the Manufacturer $20,082.2 raised with 255 backers.

5 stars for the camera protector. 1 star for the case itself.
This is a hard review to write because I purchased this case to hide the camera in addition to being a case. The camera protector is perfect. It is very easy to slide back and forth. If I was reviewing that portion of it alone, I'd rate it 5 stars. However, this is also a phone case so with regards to the case itself, I'd give it 1 star. I would never use this case if it didn't have the camera protector. It's a soft case, flimsy and not high quality. It attracts dirt on my phone and because of the unnecessary hole in the back to display the apple logo, is getting scratched in that area. I'm not confident it will actually protect my phone from the next drop.Long story short, if I saw it in a store, I would have bought something else strictly on the quality of the case. Overall, I should rate it 2 stars, but I'm overrating it because the camera piece does what it is advertised to do. The case itself needs a lot of work.

Camera cover works great
It is scary to think that I would have no idea if an app is using my camera without my permission! I use a cover for my laptop camera but I really needed one for my phone since I always have it on me. I’m satisfied that this case covers my front and back camera and that it is easy to slide the cover off the camera for quick use.The case itself is sub-par. It doesn’t seem to do a lot to protect the phone and sand/dust easily get under it and scratch up my phone (especially when I slide the camera cover). The material is a grippy kind of rubber and it slides back exposing the sides of my phone easily. It is low profile which I like but I wish there were more options for color and material. I’m satisfied mostly because my camera is protected and covered, it has potential to be a 5 star product.

Such a nice idea!!
Why didn't anyone think of this sooner?! I love this case. Initially, it didn't play nice with my clear skin. I use the somewhat "grippy" vinyl skins (bestskinsever) and the slider didn't glide well over it so I removed the skin and replaced it with a tempered glass screen protector. That solved that issue for me. The rubber case itself isn't the best and it isn't the least bit pretty but I imagine that will improve over time with subsequent releases. It's EXTREMELY flexible and won't provide too much protection for the phone but I'm so tickled with the camera coverage and I'm so careful with my phone, I don't mind it much. I look forward to seeing this product evolve!

The last phone case you will ever NEED!
The product works exactly as advertised! I’m very happy and will be purchasing one for my wife very soon. Don’t get complacent EyePatch Builders! Continue to grow your business by building different offerings. Someone that cares about privacy is more likely to spend more on aesthetics when it comes to their phone. I cannot attach those holders to the cover for selfies!

Won’t work with thick screen protectors!
This won’t work if you have a thick screen protector. It probably won’t work with any screen protector, since a thinner one will eventually come off the screen from the cover sliding back and forth. Otherwise, it is not a bad idea if you carry your phone in a purse. The thick, soft rubber might make storing phones in pant pockets difficult. This is what I do and why I need a screen protector. It’s a shame more companies aren’t addressing these vulnerabilities, so kudos to the company.

Love being able to easily cover my cameras!
Overall great case! The only negative is that when I open the eyepatch, the case still covers a small part of my front facing camera causing fuzzy edges on my pictures. The main camera is not obstructed at all. If I want to take a pic with my front facing camera, I have to take the case off while I do it. It comes on and off easily, so it's not too big of a deal for me. ( I have an iphone 6) .

Perfect phone case + privacy and camera protection
I’ve bought at least four of these. They’re durable, flexible enough to go onto the phone without having to worry about breaking it, and they work perfectly for the intended purpose. It’s really one of my favorite things I’ve ever bought. I’ve lost a couple, in which case I buy a new one. I also really like that it can protect the cameras and keep them clean, or cover them up when not in use.

Nice case. Works with iphone 6s as stated
nice case. the case does work with the iphone 6s as stated. I had one snag which was putting it on with a screen protector... but worked it out by putting the slider on first, then wrapping the case.Only neg I would have is the cases very smoothe. I would have liked it to have a little more of a grippy type of feeling.Regardless... it is so nice to know both "eyes" are covered now unless I want to use a camera.
