I bought this exact webcam cover; it works great. http://www.amazon.com/C-Slide-1-0-Webcam-Cover/dp/B00AZ639VG
This cover fits great over my macbook camera http://www.amazon.com/C-Slide-1-0-Webcam-Cover/dp/B00AZ639VG
Apple should add a slider to the phone so i can physically cover the camera when not using it.
something like this: https://www.amazon.com/C-Slide-Sliding-Computers-Chromebooks...
Hell, even integrating it into the phone and opening the camera app when i open the rear slider would be a killer feature.
Not for mics, but you can essentially add the equivalent of a webcam kill switch with something simple like this: https://www.amazon.com/C-Slide-Sliding-Computers-Chromebooks...
If you're going to cover it, use a sticker, like the EFF stickers here[0]. They're reusable, so you can move it to the side for meetings. I used a hard plastic MongoDB-branded sliding camera cover on a couple laptops[1], and its presence appears to have contributed to backlight bleed like this[2].
