The iPhone SlipStopper gives your phone some grip

Just about everyone you know owns a smartphone. It has become a part of our culture to want a sleeker, slimmer phone that does more than any other version on the market. There are of course a variety of cases to keep our glass-faced touchscreens safe, but the “cool” way to do things is to keep it case-free (live dangerously, right?)

If you set your phone on pretty much any surface, you can expect its glossy screen and casing to slide all over the place. Of course, that also includes off the table and onto the floor. If you want to keep your phone protection to a minimum, but have more concern for its ability to glide across every surface, then you may like the SlipStopper. This is a gel-resin material that will stick to the back of your phone that will give it a bit more grip.

It uses 3M adhesive, which means you can stick and un-stick it to your phone as many times as you want, and it won’t lose any of it’s capabilities. The gel-resin is unique in that it is smooth to the touch, and only sticks to surfaces, meaning it’s not tacky, and won’t stick to the inside of your pocket. These cost around $20, and are available for the iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S, and the iPad Mini. The price varies from $20-30 depending on which device you’re buying it for.
