The EyeShield is a new sun-blocking iPhone case that delivers [maximum UV protection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uv-guardian). This clever design resembles a baby carriage that can block sun rays which interfere with your screen. From a distance, this case can be deceiving as it looks like a neat little toy. The [UV protective cloth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uv-protective) ensures a durable performance for iPhone 5 and 5S models.

With this case, all you need to do is slide the phone in underneath the top two tabs, pull the bottom down until the phone clips in place. These shields stay flat in the side of the case until the user needs to raise them to either block the sun and cast a shadow on the screen for easy access. This sun-blocking iPhone case would be perfect for children.
