Any suggestions for a tablet sun shade? Nine Volt makes a great product for MacBooks (http://www.nine-volt.com/product/digishade-lite/) and we've asked them to create an iPad version (https://twitter.com/technologync/status/555438862323834880). Nevertheless, have you been able to find an existing, quality product that helps visibility on bright days?

Thank you! The site is currently sold out of units for iPad Air (http://www.hoodivision.com/#!hoo ... t=0&sort=normal) but we will continue to check for availability.  Has anyone 3D printed or created a good shade?

I used a Hoodivision, once. The strong magnets in the Hoodivision can really screw up the magnetic compass in a P2V+ if you get too close or store the Hoodivision in the same case, not sure if they would affect a Inspire 1 as well. I'm going all velcro from now on.

Any word on this product being available for the iPAD Mini?  Seems to be a really strong magnet.  Could this magnet interfere with the radio communications back to the Inspire 1?  that would be one of my concerns.

No, the Hoodi's magnets do not effect the Inspire 1 or the controller.

You should check HoodiVision.  It's designed with a built-in angle so you don't see yourself in the reflection.  You are viewing the iPad at a slight angle so the reflected angle is the black inside of the hood.  Plus keeps direct sun from hitting the screen from the sides.  And there is a non-magnetic version, which is what we want.  

I also added a non-glare film to my iPad screen.

The Hoodie is probably your best bet. I have one on order but it has not arrived yet. Most of the Forum users and the guys from DJI reccomend the Hoodie.

Glad to hear that because the magnetic version is the one that I ordered.

The Hoodie is 29.99 and free shipping direct from them. The large shipping fees on Amazon have always turned me off.

I have just taken delivery of a hood vision sunhat. It is a very simple design and I am hoping it will work well (I haven't tried it out yet). The ONLY problem is that the company who make this send it out using USPS which has to be one of the most useless courier companies in the world. I ordered this on 23/02/15 and it was sent out immediately. It finally arrived yesterday! Interestingly, I ordered the DJI battery warmer from communist China at exactly the same time. That arrived in the UK within 4 days!

It seems hilarious to me that the greatest capitalist nation on earth (USA) can no longer compete with communist China from whom it borrows all of its money

I purchased this 8" hood for my nVidia Shield Tablet:

http://amzn.com/B0062WRU8A

It's $17 and it works well. I did, however, have to cut a small slit on one of the sides in order to fit the USB cable through.

Oh, it also fits nicely in the Inspire 1 case in the same slot where the manual box used to be.

Ordered the Hoodi PadHat for Ipad Mini yesterday evening. It has been shipped yet, even if the website said it was in backorder for about2-4 weeks!
Total price with shipping(USPS) to France approx 44eur, not crazy if it does the job.

Why not make your own with Velcro tape and chloroplast or some other craft stiff board? That's what I'm gonna do. Then you can design what works best for you and your case

Because having the same result is probably difficult, and the velcro tape is a substitute solution, I prefer the magnet solution.

How does it fit to the nvidia, do you need to fix velcro to the tablet?

Substitute? Not sure I understand. Different yes but not a substitute that would suggest you had magnets in the first place and chose something else. I'm only trying to end up with a similar product that doesn't rape your wallet. If you insist on using magnets neodymium magnets can be had relatively inexpensively at various locations. Certainly much less than the pre made hoods. It's functionality will be directly proportionate to your design and creativity.

Yes you would have to apply the tape to the iPad and that could be removed with a gentle solvent such as goo gone or even alcohol. The shape could benefit from Velcro tape as well and could be flattened out and stored in your case for easy transportation
