There are many ways that your phone can meet an untimely end.
Phones are so thin and polished nowadays that it's easy for your phone to slip out of your hand when you least expect it.
You could drop it off a tall building, lose it off the side of a boat or it could fall in the toilet.
Even if you buy a phone case, many cases are still very smooth and thin.
I've tested many different phone grip solutions over the years and I'm going to share with you the best one that I've found.
Other Common Solutions
But first, here are some of the common solutions that people on the internet suggest and what I don't like about each one.
If they work for you then great, but I don't like them.
- Pop Sockets, loops and rings: They add too much bulk for my taste.
- Skateboard grip tape: Way to abrasive, shreds my hands and clothes
- Get another case: Not always built for grip and many of them are ugly. It's actually kind of hard to find a case if you don't have an iPhone or Galaxy.
- Lanyards: Again, too much bulk and I don't want to look like a summer camp counselor.
- Phone wraps: Usually look cheap and don't provide a whole lot of additional grip.
My Favorite Phone Grip Solution
I have a tiny phone and it can be a little hard to hang onto to begin with. On top of that, the body is super slick. Even with the “case” on it, there are still times when it gets slippery.
But after discovering Talon Grips, I always have a firm grip on my phone.
The benefits are:
- Can be used on ANY phone or case
- Doesn't add additional bulk
- Easy to attach
- Easy to remove without residue
- Stays attached for a long time
- Very inexpensive, just a few dollars
- Grippy, but not abrasive
- Endlessly customizeable
The only downside that I've discovered is that the grippy part can wear off over time. But there is still plenty of grip if that happens.
If that bothers you however, it's easy to replace the Talon strips.
Easy peasy.
Here's the process in action…
Next Step
If you like this idea and want to try it out, head on over to the Talon Grips site, or you can order a bigger sheet on Amazon.
Then cut out a few pieces that fit your phone and you'll be all set. The beauty of this solution is that you can customize the grips in any way you want.
You don't have to settle for the design of a company.
These grips can also be used on other portable electronics like iPods, tablets and laptops.
Have fun!
