For the Nikon D40, or D40X, this item, other than to protect the monitor, is not functional. You cannot use the monitor to see your subject on these cameras thus making the sunscreen useless. In fact, you are best off removing the shade in order to see your picture results. With the shade connected and open, you cannot get your eye to the eyepiece to take a picture.

Spent the product out in the field today. I found, with my D40, that the pop-up shade isn't quite a perfect fit: It attaches to the eyepiece cup and the bottom is left to wiggle a bit dramatically. And the left-hand buttons don't quite line up with the corresponding ones underneath. Which means I have to push quite hard to zoom a review image, for example. I don't like a product to actually make use harder ...

Pop-Up Shades are LCD screen protective covers, which double as glare guards. These sturdy, lightweight covers are easily installed (and removed), protect a digital camera's expensive LCD screen in the closed position, and pop up to provide easier viewing of the display in bright sunlight.
The cover easily pops up to form a little three sided canopy over the LCD to diminish glare, and folds right back down when you're finished. A camera grade, optically clear glass (itself protected with a clear protective film cover to prevent shipping scratches) continues to guard the LCD screen when the shade is up.
Snap on covers literally hook onto the grooves in your camera. Buttons on the Professional shade are aligned with your camera, to reduce the wear and tear on delicate parts and components. Color and design matches your camera model.
Pop-Up Shades differ from alternatives on the market, being made with hard impact plastic that snaps shut over the camera's LCD screen. Unlike other one size fits all LCD hoods on the market that fold or are designed with a bellows look, Pop-Up Shades are designed specifically for every individual camera model. Every Pop-Up shade snaps into place with the flick of a finger to shade the screen from bright light.
