I modified the DJI sun shade to fit my Shield tablet. Since it is 8" I needed to make it wider and I have a cover on mine so I needed a solution where I was free from taking it off every time I was flying. So I decided to utilize the magnets on the cover and use it as the top of my shade. Here are some pics of what I had put together.

Just be careful with magnets, they can cause the GPS screen on the GO App to give inaccurate readings, Perhaps you could just use velcro instead of magnets.

Very cool Idea though. I use the "Hoodman " sunshield and it works well.
I love when pilots utilize what they have and modify it . well done .  ( Just be careful with  the magnets )

Hi Donnie,
Do you know if there is a hoodman that would fit the Nvidia Shield?

Hi Donnie,
Yes you are right, one should be careful when using magnets. I do however think that they wont cause any serious issues since they are quite "weak" and they only "snap" enough for the fabric to stick to the washers. If I stick velcro on it I will have a gap between the tablet and the cover when its closed.. dont want that
