Show HN: iPhone case that mutes your microphone

My friend and I designed an iPhone case that mutes all the microphones so even if someone did remote turn on your mic, this could mute it.

    Great idea. You should make it always muted and the user could flip a switch or slide something to ummute.

    Also why not do a full privacy case? Sliding cover for cameras. Maybe faraday cage?

    A great idea and something i would definitely buy. However, its crazy that we are at a stage where we have to willfully sabotage our devices to feel safe.

    Does it work for phone calls?
