Apple is urging MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro users to not close their laptops when the camera cover is still on as it may damage the display of their devices.

“If you close your Mac notebook with a camera cover installed, you might damage your display because the clearance between the display and keyboard is designed to very tight tolerances,” Apple said in a support page posted earlier this month.
