What's the thing called that is used to get a better look at your DSLR screen?

I've seen other photographers use it, but can't manage to figure out what it might be called to find it on B&H's website. It's like a little cup-shaped thing that you look through right up at the screen to see it better. I'm guessing it especially helps out in sunlight. If you know what I am talking about, do you have one and/or know what I am talking about? Do you recommend one? Thanks!

Yes! That must be it! It looks a bit bigger in the picture than I remember, but that has to be it. Thanks!

could it be the z-finder by zacuto?

They're never in stock since they work so well, but I think most people buy them to assist with DSLR videos.

there is also a wired remote live view that i have seen on ebay (I think maybe)
that has been mentioned in a thread on here a time or 3 but I cannot remember the name.

Searched ebay and found them, just wonder why you'd want a remote live view that's the same size as the screen on the camera. Would be nice if it was say a 7" monitor so you could check focus better, but for $350 for the wireless version, I'd stick with something like the zfinder...
