> I can't tell whether this is supposed to be sneaky self-promotion or a real question,
Real one. I make research to carry on my development and producing of own cover.
> MacBooks have camera indicators - they can be bypassed, but give a sense of security to most people
Green indicator is not a guarantee. Please, read this article https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu/handle/1774.2/36569
- A hard-plastic cover is likely just as cheap but has no limited lifespan
It's true. But hard-plastic cover has significant disadvantages.
> A hard-plastic cover is, by the looks of it, easier to use
Ease of usage must be the same.
> Some people just don't care
Yes, but only some people. Where is the rest part of people? :)
> Finally, your website says that 50 people ordered today. Unless that's a marketing scam, it sounds like people _are_ buying your product.
