Pros & Cons
Pros
It's handy that when open there's a coloured ring shown, although the items delivered had more a of a copper colour rather than the red in the picture. Can be used for skype, hangouts, facetime and filming blogs.
Smooth sliding mechanic of the camera lens cover. Easy to attach with no impact on laptop lid closing.
They’ve never peeled off, they’re effective and are easy to slide. Both my macbook and thinkpad laptops close seamlessly with these in place.
Cons

We are warned of the dangers of hackers taking control of our webcams and although the function can be disabled in software it would seem that somebody who can gain access to your pc would also be able to reenable the webcam

You have the red part around the web cam presumably so that it warns you that the slider is in the open position
