Abstract
A device can include a processor; memory; a display; a bezel that defines a bezel region and a display region for the display; one or more media capture components where the one or more media capture components include a camera operatively coupled to the processor, where the camera includes an aperture disposed in the bezel region; a switch that includes an operational state for a circuit electrically coupled to the at least one of the one or more media capture components and a nonoperational state for the circuit; and a movable shutter that controls the switch, where the movable shutter includes a closed orientation that obscures a field of view of the camera and that corresponds to the nonoperational state of the switch and an open orientation that does not obscure the field of view and that corresponds to the operational state of the switch.
