The H-RXT FlipUp cap clips into place by slipping the original Rebel XT eye piece up and off the camera. Next slide the H-RXT FlipUp cap over the eyepiece mounting flanges to cover the entire LCD screen. The cap provides protection for the delicate LCD screen when in closed position.

Both of the previous reviews are correct. It does protect the display and it is very easy to snap on and off. It also gets in the way and prevents the addition of an eyepiece extension.
When I purchased my XT used, there was a broken hoodman in the camera bag. Apparently one of the side wings that hold the hood up when extended had cracked. I don't think this was a defect of the product as much as mis-use by the previous owner.
I was considering buying a replacement as I liked the concept very much. Then I had a different thought.
I detached the spring loaded upper hood and remaining sidewing and now it's great. I still have a protective window over my dispays and the existing eyepiece acts as an extension without having to buy another. I don't have the additional shade over the display any longer, but I use the eyepiece 90% of the time for my photos anyway.
Try this. I wouldn't be suprrised if Hoodman doesn't come out with another model just like I have described. Best of both worlds. |

| I purchased this product and am certainly not sorry. It is wonderful protection for the LCD screen if you camera is in a bag where it can be scratched. In bright sunlight, the "shade", when flipped up reduces glare significantly. The installation is a snap and ease of operation is another plus! |

| While it's nice to protect the LCD, the lack of the ability to add a eyepiece extension makes it more annoying than useful. Your face is pressed against it more when you try to use the eyepiece and the LCD screen has to be closed to use it. I only use this to protect the LCD during transport now and switch to my eye extender for actual use. |
