I am shocked at the people defending apple. A thin piece of tape shouldn't be enough to damage the laptop. That's terrible design. I hate to make the cliche comparison, but this is why newer think pads have the camera cover built in.

"Dont cover the camera, YOU could hurt your 2500 dollar device."

In my opinion, this response from apple says:

They didnt know people covered their webcams.

Or

They dont want people covering their webcams.
