Also, this is for a 10.5 inch tablet, but use your own to figure out the right dimensions!
Materials:
1 foot Clear Vinyl (I bought 4 Gauge, at least that's what the receipt said, I just picked the thinnest)
Scrap Fabric, Just a bit bigger than your tablet
Bias Tape
Ribbon
Directions:
Use your tablet to measure out your fabric. There should be at least and inch or two on each side.
Cut out the fabric, and cut out the same size for the plastic.
Next, you will want to go out to the car and measure around the headrest with a flexible tape measure. You will need the length around the top to bottom (make sure they overlap) and around the top, from side to side. That length, plus an extra 10 inches is how much ribbon you will need.
Each length of ribbon will be cut into two, but don't do it evenly. Have more on one side than the other so that the bow you tie will be able to be tied off to the side, so that there won't be a knot in the back of the person's head that is sitting in the seat.
Put your plastic on top of your back fabric and place the ribbons in the middle, with the edges at the edge of the fabric and plastic,
Sew the 3 sides, and turn it inside out. (This is where more work could be done to make it prettier, those seams are pretty ugly! Covering them with bias tape might be cute.)
Next, make a bias tape or use an already bought one and finish off the top edge. A ribbon will need to be added to the top as well.
I was impressed to find out that the touch screen was still able to be used with the clear vinyl. The vinyl does cling to the screen as well.

I was just thinking that I needed something like this. I wasn't even sure if they made these things.
Thank you for sharing, you got my wheels spinning, I have a small collection of the clear zippered packaging in my to-use pile waiting for a purpose. Again, thank you!!
I'm glad that I could motivate you, thanks for checking it out!
Great idea Monica!
