Just got the new 3DR Tablet Hood in

This is the new Sun Shade for Tablets from 3D Robotics.  

This is a well made collapsible tablet screen hood that should provide adequate shade from the sun while viewing you screen.  It's a vinyl like outside that is not fingerprint resistant.  The inside has some really fine felt like material.  There are 2 magnets embedded in the side flaps that keep it all together.    

FYI: If you don't use the hood and have it stored in the zippered pouch on the backpack, you won't be able to take off from the backpack as it will complain about "Magnetic Interference" 

It's available from 3DR here
