Does not work with the Nvidia Shield / K1. The thickness of this product and the thickness of the shield are too much for the controller cradle to cover/handle.
However, this does have multiple suction cups to help it attach to your Tablet (there's a smaller model for phones). If your Tablet back cover is not smooth, simply apply clear plastic tape (any smooth tape) to the back and this will suction onto it.
This units size and height are ideal to help you fight the sun and its build quality make it a keeper even if you have to modify. For all tablets / ipads that need a sunshade. Easy fold up design. These sunshade' do not come with instructions...none of them do but look at the picture and you'll quickly figure out.

This product is well made and durable but the description on the website states it will fit a 10" tablet which is correct . On the box, its reads that it fits up to 9.5" tablet. This is miss leading.

While the product it 100% functional I gave 4 stars instead of 5 due to no instructions. Took me a minute to figure out how it attaches. But it’s does work great keeping to sun off your tablet. Worth having if flying during the day.

At first I thought it was a little large for my uses since I'm using an iPad mini 4. But, I used it on the job for two weeks and I would not have been able to get the types of shots I did without it. It supplies excellent coverage/shade so you can really see where you are flying. It's well-built too. Easily worth the money.

Good cover for the price. Makes the remote control a little big, but it collapses good for storage when not using it. Provides good shade for your display.

It does the job it’s supposed to do. With that said, the product is solid in form. It’s not flimsy and the Velcro holds everything together fine. However the manufacturer skimped on the suction cups that hold it in place to the back of your tablet. Because it is a loose fit, when the tiny tiny tiny suction cups released the shade box would turn or slide down. I found it to be quite bothersome and distracted me from what I was doing. I gave it a three star because it did do what it’s supposed to do. And the panels were well made. It’s just those pesky tiny suction cups don’t hold it in place.

Well worth the could bucks it cost. It made my already bright Samsung tablet (also purchased from BestBuy) even more visible in bright sunlight. My kids even use the sun shade when they are playing on the tablet and not flying drones. I can't believe I used to hunt for shaded areas just to see the screen completely, when this handy little Sun shade takes a fraction of a second to snap together and you have full visibility!

I bought this in the store despite the printing on the package that it fits tablets up to 9.5 inches (online it says 10" -- odd). I use it with my Samsung Tab S3 which is 9.7". It fits, but it's tight and it makes it a bit of a hassle to setup. I attach my tablet to my Spark controller using a UZOPI Tablet Holder. This sun shade does not play well with that holder. So out came the box cutter and I modified the shade to fit. Next problem was the usb port on my tablet was blocked so I couldn't plug my OTG cable in, so I sliced and diced some more. Now if fits okay and it works: it blocks the sun. The major problem I have is that the suction cups don't hold real well and I am constantly having to push it back onto the tablet --- while I'm flying.
A couple of positives for this shade is that it is well-made with sturdy construction (it was actually tough to cut into) and it folds nice and flat to store in my case very well.
With a smaller tablet and a different holder it may work for you.

The cover for our iPad works great! When we are in the sun, the iPad screen is practically impossible to see. The glare is extremely bad. The cover makes it possible to see where the drone is flying. Really worth the price!

This shade fits perfectly with a standard iPad or iPad air. The mini fits, but there is a lot of excess space. It can be a lifesaver either way, if you find yourself filming in bright sunlight.

This is a nice sun shade, it works well blocking the sun so that you can see the screen to pilot the drone. One problem is it is bulky but still does the job.

Well made but heavy. Had to make a stop for added support. Suction cups are useless. I removed them. I believe Polarpro could have done better.

The material is made of a nice quality bit I don't love the suction cups that are supposed to hold the device in place. It works just fine though.

This Sunshade is a must have for flying your drone in those bright sunny days. It makes seeing your screen possible. After my first flight this was my number 1 purchase. Seems bulky at first, but after you use it the first time you will appreciate it. Stays on my controller great and doesn't feel heavy to me at all. Try one I think you'll agree

It does not stick to the iPad. When it is on the remote it makes the screen fall back bec it's to heavy. It just does not work at all...

This sunshield is a good product and does what it should to keep the sun off of the screen on my iPad while flying the drone. I did end up replacing it with a smaller version though because I have the iPad mini 2 and this fits the bigger models like the air so it looked a little goofy and bulky with the smaller tablet in it.
