• a disadvantage of the known shell is in particular that the volume of a smart phone equipped with it significantly increased, so it is less well inserted into tight pockets and can also be unwieldy. In addition, it contributes greatly in an inserted into a tight garment state, which is visually disadvantageous, but also represents a mechanical burden on the garment.
• the object of the invention is therefore to provide a retrofit Ausspähschutz provided with a miniature digital camera electronic device, such as a communication or entertainment device, in particular a smartphone, a tablet, a notebook or a smart TV available, which the volume of the space-equipped electronic Device only slightly enlarged and also easy to put in and out of service.

• the closure position can represent an eye with black pupil and blue iris.
• the user of the electronic device can recognize so quickly and clearly that, for example, the retrofit spy protection in a closed position is in function, so he has to deliberately take pictures with the miniature camera to bring this closure position in an open position. An incorrect operation of the miniature digital camera is thereby effectively avoided.
• such an optical identification of a closed position advantageously entails that the opening position with a local separation of the color areas as such is also highlighted, so that a user can also clearly recognize an unprotected position of the miniature camera and can restore the closed position if necessary.
• the lens cover may be opaque or even indistinctly translucent, so that although light can enter the miniature digital camera, but so diffuse that no people or objects are recognizable.
• an elastic narrowing for latching both operating states may be formed in the displacement path of the through-hole, for example in the form of a collar, alternatively or additionally the lens cover having at least one in Direction of the film projecting catch for locking both operating states may be formed, this catch can also just frictionally engage under the film, so in this no negative impact their slot whose strength or a depression must be introduced.
• retrofit spy protection is the ability to make the film either so small that it extends only tightly around a partial area around a camera lens or even over the entire surface of one side of an electronic device, quasi as part of a Screen Protector, as it is offered for a variety of smartphones.
• the film may be provided around the through-hole with a raised embossing in the form of an elevation creating a space for the lens cover underneath, the lens cover is slidably mounted in the space along the through-hole and the lens cover with a contact surface facing away from the access surface rests on the surface of the electronic device and is held by the film form-fitting thereto.
• the film around the edge of naturalgangsausEnglishung is equipped with an expanding to the surface of the electronic device undercut
• the lens cover rests here with a contact surface remote from the access surface on the surface of the electronic device and extends with lateral and adapted to the undercut flats under the undercut and so is also held by the film form-fitting on the surface.
• the lens cover here has a height dimension, which is equal to the thickness of the film, so that the retrofit Ausspähschutz does not protrude over the surface of the film, resulting in a flattest possible embodiment of the inventive retrofitting Ausspähschutzes.
• the undercut around the through-passage of the film is advantageously provided in cross-section with a dovetail-shaped contour, as well as the sliding surface of the lens cover under the spatial shape embossing may be formed as a flat inclined surface, so that between them a defined game of parallel surfaces or an air gap between about 0.05mm is generated.
