- The magnets that hold it together are strong enough to hold the sides and back. I was somehow stronger with two in the lead though. - Connecting to a controller is a little clumsy. Just attach it to the antenna mount and place the phone on the cover. Then slide the phone (as usual) and lens hood together to attach. This differs from the product photos. Once connected to the controller, the hood works well on sunny days. I can see the screen better. The top is foldable and relatively quick to set up. Cons: The sides of the hood get in the way if you have to flip your phone back to portrait to dismiss the notification. - Pretty clumsy to position everything and I think I'll only use this when I'm in the sun at the right time of the day. It's not the hood's fault, it's just taking time to settle down.
