How to elegantly obstruct the iSight lens? Sometimes you see people placing a sticker over the iSight camera on their MacBook's such that no one can spy on them.

This might seem ridiculous, but from a previous answer it is clear that it is possible to activate the iSight without activating the "hardwired" LED as well. It was first thought that this was only possible with older models (as shown by this paper), but this article mentions that the FBI reportedly can do this to newer models.

Besides that, I just found that the Dutch head of the cybercrime department officially advises (link in Dutch) to cover the webcam lens.

Now the question:
Are there any elegant solutions to obstructing the iSight lens, besides using tape? I don't want to use tape as it often leaves a residue and looks a bit "meh".
Elegant would be black glossy vinyl circular sticker that would adhere to the glass naturally.

If you were paranoid, black is a bad color as you will not have visual confirmation that the sticker has moved should it shift. That is why most people I know put a very visual color and use adhesive as they want to see when it moves and not have it slip.

Removing the camera kernel extension is far better for my use since I can't accidentally have that "fall off" when I'm not looking.


How do I deactivate my microphone and iSight for security reasons?


With that solution, the elegance of Apple's physical design is maintained and I only have to disable software updates or set a watcher script to alert me if that kext is reloaded / replaced.
