Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: first and second grip materials each having an attachment mechanism, each grip material having a grip surface and a device-attachment surface that is attached to the attachment mechanism of the respective first or second grip material, at least a portion of each grip surface having disposed thereon a plurality of micro-replicated projections each attached to the respective grip material at a projection-attachment end and extending along a projection length to an outer end, each projection having a side surface area along the projection length that is greater than a surface area of the outer end of the projection, each projection configured to flex along its projection length when the respective grip material contacts an external surface to expose at least a portion of the side surface area of the projection to the external surface, the side surface area configured when exposed to provide a grip area that is greater than a grip area provided by the surface area of the outer end of the projection alone when in contact with the external surface, wherein the first grip material removably couples to the second grip material and has a durometer that is different from a durometer of the second grip material; and instructions accompanying the grip material and including at least one of text and a diagram that identifies a target electronic device to which the first grip material is to be attached via the attachment mechanism and at least one of text and a second diagram that identifies a surface other than the target electronic device to which the second grip material is to be attached; the first grip material being configured to be attached to a surface of the electronic device and to occupy a footprint sized between 5 percent and 100 percent of surface area of the surface of the electronic device.
