3y3patch FAQ
WHY USE A CAMERA PRIVACY COVER?
We’re almost always facing a screen, which means a camera is often pointed right at us. Software can be hacked and hardware can be compromised. A physical cover gives you a simple, affordable way to block unwanted eyes and take control of your own privacy. Learn why this matters
CAN SOMEONE ACCESS YOUR WEBCAM?
Yes. Device cameras have been exploited in real cases — including schools secretly activating student laptop cameras and individuals spying through webcams for hours at a time. Relying only on software or tech companies is not enough. See the documented examples
WHAT DOES A PHYSICAL CAMERA COVER DO?
A physical cover completely blocks the camera lens so no image can be captured, even if software or malware tries to turn the camera on. 3y3patch face camera covers are ultra-thin, fully removable, leave no residue, and come in unique shapes and colors (Black, Gray, White, Pink). Each kit includes 35 covers so you can protect all your devices.
WEBCAM PRIVACY VS. SOFTWARE SECURITY
Software can be hacked. Hardware can be compromised. A physical 3y3patch cannot. While software settings and permissions are useful, they live inside the same system that can be attacked. A physical cover works outside that system, no code can see past it.
WHY PHYSICAL CAMERA BLOCKING WORKS
Anyone with the right tools can hack software and hardware. You can’t hack a 3y3patch. Once the lens is covered, the camera produces no usable image, giving you reliable protection that doesn’t depend on tech companies or constant software updates.
CAMERA PRIVACY FOR LAPTOPS
Laptop cameras sit directly above the screen and face you for long periods. 3y3patch ultra-thin covers fit cleanly over laptop webcams, stay fully removable, and let you protect your privacy without bulky accessories. Apply when not needed and peel off only for video calls.
CAMERA PRIVACY FOR PHONES
Front-facing phone cameras are constantly pointed at you during everyday use. A small, removable 3y3patch covers the lens, peels off cleanly when you need the camera, and leaves no residue — simple everyday protection for your phone.
CAMERA PRIVACY FOR TABLETS
Tablets with front-facing cameras are used for video calls, learning, and media. 3y3patch provides the same ultra-thin, residue-free coverage so you can block the camera whenever the tablet is idle or in private spaces.
CAMERA PRIVACY FOR EXTERNAL WEBCAMS
Standalone and USB webcams are just as vulnerable as built-in ones. Stick a 3y3patch over the lens when the camera is not in use. The cover is fully removable so you can uncover it instantly for meetings or streaming.

HOW TO APPLY THE 3Y3PATCH?
Step 1.Peel 3y3patch off of backing paper. Use your fingertip or nail to catch an edge of the sticker and slowly peel it off the backing paper. Pro tip: Give the paper a little flex to help an edge pop up. Peel at a steady angle to preserve the adhesive and shape.Step 2.Find the front facing camera. Position the 3y3patch over the camera lens. Positioning doesn't have to be perfect. We plan to remove the 3y3patch to take photos later.Pro tip: Hold on the tip of your finger or nail and hover over the area allowing a corner section to touch the surface.Step 3. Once you've spotting your target area, press the 3y3patch down, just enough pressure to help it settle in and grab on. When applying, avoid pressing one corner completely.Pro tip: Leave the area unpressed for easy removal later. If you don't plan on taking selfies, press hard and it will not come off.Step 4.Give it the once-over like a proud artist, smooth any little spots that need love. Congrats! You’ve just mastered the art of sticking things.Pro tip: Don't allow 3y3patch to hang off device. It can catch on items in your pocket or purse. If this happens, it's okay, you have a whole sheet of 3y3patches.If your placement isn’t quite right, gently peel the sticker back from one corner and reposition it. Smooth it down again with firm pressure to reset the bond.
