Is made from that honeycomb type plastic cardboard. Really light and really easy to cut one layer then fold over to form up the shade box.

Attachment to the phone is really fast with just a single piece of velcro attached to the back of the shade box passed down between the phone and the controller (there is a convenient gap) then attached to the front of the shade box from underneath and held with velcro. Takes about 20secs to mount.

You don't actually need the whole top open so you can just have a view hole on top to reduce any glare even further..

Yes you have absolutely no access to your phone so that is where a Bluetooth mouse is perfect!

Lets you see everything really clear no matter how bright and really quick to mount and takeoff and very light.

How about having a flap next to the screen so you can access the touch-screen interface?

I have tried that. Is a little fiddly around the centre strap but do find navigating with the mouse really good as on these phone screens the options to select can be quite small and not so easy to select with big fingers
