Night Shade

Abstract

A mousepad designed to enable privacy when the user of a laptop computer, tablet computer, desk top computer, or cellphone does not want to be seen. The mouse pad acts as a regular mouse pad whereas the detachable clip is securely fastened on whatever device is being used with the intent of covering the camera. The markings on the detachable clip clearly display a microphone and question mark which are used as a reminder to mute the microphone on the laptop computer, tablet computer, desk top computer, or cellphone.
