Comments about Delkin Delkin Professional Pop-up Shade & Protective Cover for Canon EOS Rebel XT LCD Screen, Snap On:
I bought the Delkin Pop-up Shade & Protective Cover a year ago to both protect the LCD on my Digital Rebel XT and to make viewing the LCD easier in sunny shooting conditions. I shoot a lot of outdoor sporting events and the small screen of the Rebel XT would always wash out in sunlight. The shade certainly made viewing images on the LCD easier in sunlight. The Delkin Pop-up Shade is constructed from high quality plastic, but the shade is an assembly of 3 separate pieces. The main protective plate attaches to the camera by sliding over the camera's original eye cup mounts. The shade has it's own separate eye cup that attaches to the main plate by two small plastic hooks, and the LCD shade also attaches to the main plate by several small plastic hooks. Be warned! The eye cup attachment and the LCD shade cover slide off easily on their own. As a result, I lost the eye cup portion in a crowd at the 2006 World Series celebrations in the St Louis Busch Stadium, and the LCD shade slipped off at some point during shooting at a college football game. My recommendation if you buy the Delkin Pop-up shade is to buy some inexpensive super glue, and place some glue on the plastic clips attaching the eye cup and LCD shade to the main plate. With the loss of the eye cup portion and the LCD shade I'm basically left with a bulky LCD cover now and I'm no better off than I was before purchasing Delkin's Pop-up shade.

The shade does what it says it will do. But I did find that the hood and eypiece will come loose easily if not secured. I actually lost an eyepiece while on a shoot, Delkin was kind enough to send me a replacement at no charge.
I secured both the hood and eyepiece by applying tiny dabs of clear silicone caulk with a toothpick. end of issue.

I have been looking for something to cover the LCD display and keep it clean and this product does that and more. You snap off the OEM eyepiece and snap this on in its place and it protects everything on the back of the camera. The sunshade is removable as well.
