What is this item?

AND what unique problem does it deal with in your photography. Also, did you buy a camera where one of these was put on the strap to deal with the aforementioned problem.
Answer tomorrow. I expect there will be correct answers from the "peanut gallery" to both parts of the question. Tomorrow, I will post the nature of the item and what it corrects, for the benefit of those unaware of it's purpose.

It might cover the eyepiece to keep light out when you are shooting with your eye away from the camera. This is usually when shooting with the self time or remotely.
Or it is just part of the strap system.
I figure it should be three guesses for a quarter, but that's all I got.

On second thought, if we are seeing both sides, there is a big hole in the middle that would all the light through.

I know, I think....it is a little holder to secure your hot shoe cover when you have a flash mounted. You know, that little black plastic cover that goes AWOL as soon as you mount your flash?

I agree. It's an eyepiece cover.
Never mind...looking at the other side that is not what it is.

Yes it is an eye piece cover, the strap through the slots is part of the light blocking, you don't take it off to use it.
95-99% of all photographers never use them and probably 90% just wonder what the heck it is unless they actually looked at the parts diagram etc for their new camera.
I believe they are still made and included because the nearly useless son-in-law of one of the camera company execs makes them on a machine in his garage and the company keeps buying them because the exec doesn't want the daughter and son-in-law moving back in with him.
