The LightShield has three areas that are worth describing in greater detail. Internally the tablet sits on an elevation board that lies flat when the LightShield is closed but automatically elevates when the LightShield is opened, giving the user a comfortable viewing angle for their tablet. This elevation board has a special grip surface, ensuring the tablet is securely held. We have also built in additional glare protection with our sun visor which flips out at the top to increase the overhang (and thus shade) for very bright days. In the closed position, the sun visor also reinforces the case, offering further protection against bumps. The base of the LightShield contains a hand-hold, allowing the user to have an ultra-secure hold when using the LightShield on the move. Fits tablets up to 9.7" screen size.
