Is there anything to put on the screen when taking pics outdoors?

I was wondering if there is any accessory for the screen, so when I'm taking pictures outdoors I can review the pic I just took without having to cup my hands over the screen and still not be able to see the screen. (I hope that made sense) Thanks in advance to any and all replies!

There's the Hoodman Loupe: http://www.hoodmanusa.​com/products.asp?dept=​1017 (external link)

Or the Delkin LCD shade (40D version): http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …Film_Digital_SL​R_Pro.html (external link)

The Hoodman Loupe works quite well; I wouldn't have bought one for myself, but got it for Xmas. It makes things nice when the light's bright.

The only drawback, to me, is the size of the thing. It's pretty bulky.

If you're willing to DIY... this works, looks good, is dirt cheap and is easy to build.

Yes i know its an iphone protector but cut it to size it has a nice anti glare finish its not going to work as good as a hoodman but it adds no weight and no bulk. also alot less smudgy

A loupe would probably be the best route. Thats what I use when I need it.
