Egrips non-slip strips are custom cut plastic strips that attach to your gadget(s). Why is this important? Because most gadgets nowadays are nice and shiny, and shiny = slippery. Take for example my BlackBerry 8800;  it’s all nice and slick.

The egrips strips (they call them appliqués) are thin pieces of plastic with a bubbly like grip texture (as you can see in my close-up).

The egrips set for my Blackberry comes in 6 pieces; 2 for the back, 3 for the sides, and one for the front. Once applied you have non-slip protection all around the device.

They are surprisingly easy to install, but egrips warns that the strips are not very forgiving; if you mess up, trying to remove them and reapply may mean they won’t stick as well as they should, so take your time applying them.

A set of strips for your device costs between $3.95 and $12.95 and you’ll find that egrips have something for everyone. They make sets specifically designed for your device as well as sets of universal strips that you can cut yourself.

I’ve had egrips on my devices for some time now (I even have one on my mouse), and they really do make using my device feel a bit safer. Even though I got my Blackberry for under $100, if I drop it in the toilet, T-mobile will want $599 to replace it, so investing $12.95 really does make sense.
