eGrips Reviewed: Grip it Good
Posted by Kevin Remhof in "HARDWARE" @ 08:30 AM
Durability
I initially installed 3 grips. Two on the back and one on the front of my iPAQ. They worked great. However, there was nothing to give me extra grips on the sides. So I added a few more on the sides a few days later. They made a big difference.

One narrow grip I placed on the side of my iPAQ case has fallen off due to some abuse over the past few months. One other is starting to get a little ragged as well. But I can't complain about the durability of eGrips. They take a lot of abuse before losing their stickiness. The three main large ones that I originally installed are still going strong.
Conclusions
eGrips are a very nice product. They claim to keep your devices from slipping and sliding, and that's exactly what they do. I've had a set installed my my iPaq for over 9 months and they are still going strong. These solved my gripping problems and I'm sure they will solve yours too. They add a bit of bulk but are worth the thickness for the security they provide.
