Hood for A1 stock flip out LCD

Finally got my hands on an A1 the other day for the first time. I noticed that the stock flip out LCD screen is a bit of an odd shape. From the looks of it I don't think a Hoodman for that size would fit it. Does anyone know if there is in fact a hoodman or comparable product that will work on the stock LCD? I'm really close to making my purchase of the A1 but I will be doing alot of outdoor run and gun work so I'm a little concerned. A lot of the time the camera will be handheld on a merlin or fig rig, otherwise I would be looking at an aftermarket monitor. Need to keep the weight down.

Build yourself.
 
I'd like to hear about experiences with these also. I have been more impressed with the Petrols than the Hoodmans as the Petrols have an extra flag piece that works better outside. I e-mailed the Petrol about the right hood for the A1 but never received a reply. There is always the DYI approach. I have some black Sintra that would work fine for making a hood. But the manufactured ones at $30 are cheap enough I would just as well order one.
 
I don't know that Petrol makes one, which is too bad, because my dvx petrol was excellent. Only one I've seen is this hoodman, going to order it this week, it is sorely needed with the A1's weak LCD.
