Ok, so you skillfully weaseled out to Rob's standards in Latin/Medical :twisted:
But how about this plain English

It might. Page 1 of this link scared me, I could not imagine dipping the poor cell phone in a can of grippy goop or solvent, but page 4 is quite encouraging - sprays for mouses and cell phones. Thanks :D gives me ideas.

I bought the silver eGrips for my Audiovox SMT 5600, it is so tiny I was afraid of dropping it. I actually paid the $20 that they were when they came out and it was worth it, thought they're much cheaper now. The main part I liked was that they came in silver and I was able to cut some thin strips of them to put along the sides where there was already a silver color so they blended in perfectly. Definitely made the phone a lot easier to hang onto. My only gripe was that the rubbery part started to seperate from the sticky part a few months after I put them on so I had to put new ones on the other day (still part of the orginal purchase, I only used a little bit of them the first time) . I think they fell apart before because I cut them from the original size, this time I put them on with no modification. We'll see how long they last.

My remote is plenty easy to hang onto but not a bad idea if you have problems.
