Making a Glare Guard For Your Phone Out of Cardboard?

[RadRich]

Yes. Amazon Prime boxes work great for this purpose.

I made this out of black poster board, cost about $1 and there is enough material to make a couple of them. I can fold it up and fits in my case. I made one for the tablet and one for the phone, it works really good. Its not fancy but it only takes a few minutes to make one.

I posted this earlier when I was using my iPhone 6 (which is smaller than your 6+) and the Phantom 3 battery box fits well as a sun shade. I am now using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7".

Nice! Recycling at it's finest. Great repurpose. A shot of black rattle can and your set.

Yeah I have thought about it but no point now that I am using the Tab S2.
Even better, I have airbrush and air compressor which can give the inside a nice even layer of black coating

Has anyone ever tried making a glare guard to shield your phone from glare while you're flying?

I have an IPhone 6S Plus with a Otterbox defender case (encases the screen) and all of the stock glare guards i've been looking for on Amazon don't seem to fit a big phone spec like that.

I'm thinking how hard can it be? Just wondering if anyone ever did that. Ever since I got Google Cardboard, I'm thinking anything might be possible.

I posted this foamcore shade I made for an iPad but the principle is the same: iPad 2 Sun Shade design | DJI Phantom Forum

Maybe this should be called the 'tight minge' thread - c'mon guys stump up the $20 for a proper sunshade to fit round your $1000+ remote & quad just sayin'

Well. If the same thing can be made for a fraction of the cost. Why the hell not... +1 for DIY stuff.
