Hardware switches
#5
The problem with "internal privacy switches"  is they are "internal"    You must open your device every time you wish to change them.

If you are the adventuresome type,   perhaps a push-on  push-off switch could be added somewhere on the case ?

a small switch may not be that hard to add,    there is a wider than average bezel around the screen on the PineTab.

The microphone for example has a twisted pair of wires (I think)  that would not be too difficult to extend those wires to a switch.
    a ribbon cable would be slightly more complex to 'tap into'  or a module soldered on the board would be very complex for a 'end user' to work with.

The PineTab is not 'sealed' up,    so a small extra hole is not really going to compromise the the integrity.
