Just a warning (I don’t know the specs of that ThinkPad) but just because it’s a physical switch doesn’t mean it actually physically disconnects the device.

It's called ThinkShutter and it physically covers the camera lens.

so it doesn't turn it off, it just puts some plastic in front of it. Plastic that is easier to break then something inside the case that will cut the power. While I am a big fan of the idea of the thinkshutter and friends, a real switch that cuts the loop to the cam/mic is a better option.
