Made a sun shade for my K1 tablet today. Used a template from Wolfie on Thingiverse and had someone on 3D Hub print it for me. Works great. About $25 for all.

Template found here: nVidia Shield™ K1 Sun Shield by Wolfie

I have tried so many, but unless the sun is directly in front of you, sunshades just don't work. If the sun is over your shoulder, it's going to shine on the screen unless you have one of those viewfinder type hoods on the screen, where you have to put your face inside it and it blocks out all light.
It's best to just stand in some shaded area.
You will see what I'm talking about when you get outside in the sun.

A quick tip, take a small dark blanket with you. Throw it over your head and the tablet. Works perfectly. Looks silly, but you can see the screen.

That's what I have been doing - standing in the shade. The towel is a good idea.
