Has anybody tried one of these or have one? I've used the other types of sunshades and really not impressed. Didn't do much. As these much better?

Haven't used this one, but it seems that no matter what sunshade you use, you'll need an anti-glare screen protector as well. On my iPad and my Nvidia Shield, the only way either work are when I have the anti-glare on as well. Even if you shade the screen, your reflection will still show on the screen without it.

This one may work better since it has 2 parts and covers all 4 sides, rather than just 3 like most. I found the best combo with my Nvidia is the ant-glare and a deep sun shade. Will probably work well for the iPad I would think.
Guzz- Your anti glare cover, was it made for the Shield?
I went to store I purchased my Nividia from & the guy told me -They don't make a Shield anti-glare screen cover & showed me some anti-glare material you cut to size yourself, which could work I guess, eh?
And, your cover? what type/name?
Thanks for info

Do they make a anti-glare screen cover that doesn't darken your screen? Seems all are Matt finish which dims the screen which kind of defeats the purpose

I bought this one. Copy and paste it as a search within Amazon:
Mr Shield For NVIDIA Shield Tablet / Tablet K1 Anti-Glare Screen Protector [3-PACK] with Lifetime Replacement Warranty
I'm glad to hear that Mr. Shield helps. I bought one but never installed it because it looks like it's just as shiny as my screen.
I use the Hoodman.
If you use both pieces...the piece you linked and the top extension it blocks out ALL light and works perfect.
However, I have found a good anti glare screen and just the piece you linked work good enough for 85% of my flying. For the other 15% I add the top piece.
Someone released a knock off of the hoodman...its much less expensive. I know there was a thread here about it and I believe its sold on Amazon.

I use a hoodman.
It helps and like dtviewer said if you use the second part with it it works well.

I just tried my new Hoodman + extension on my Nvidia Shield K1.
Whoa!
Highly recommended.

I made a sheetmetal hood for my Nexus 7 and then tried to replicate it in plastic pieces encased in fabric with velcro to make a rigid yet foldable hood. My Nexus 7 sustained catastrophic damage and I replaced it with the Nvidia Shield tablet. I gave up on my fabric hood and bought the Hoodman (both pieces). I couldn't be happier with it. It makes a world of difference, even in the brightest, glariest, of conditions. You can see it in my last 2 videos posted in the forums (Deer Lake Dam and Wetmore Pond). Though a bit pricey, I have to agree that it was worth the price.
I bought a Hoodman and extension for my iPad Air 2 and it absolutely works. The only drawback is if you need to do a lot of adjustments, such as changing settings on the camera, it is a little annoying getting through the access port. Also, definitely get a harness of some kind to support the controller. I have a DJI branded shoulder harness that does the job.
I have a hood man.. Works fantastic. No light or glare whatsoever.. Highly recommend to all drone Pilots.
Yes.. You can bury your face into this thing and there's absolutely no light whatsoever..
