Claim:
A combination handheld device and anti-slip film, comprising: a handheld device having at least one exterior surface with a low coefficient of friction; a dimensionally stable, thin plastic film adhered to the handheld device, the plastic film having: a surface energy of about 40 Dynes/cm; an upper surface; and a lower surface adhered to the handheld device with a first adhesive layer; and a clear thin layer of non-stretchable elastomer adhered to the upper surface of the thin plastic film, the thin layer of elastomer being configured to retain a dimensionally stable shape, the layer of elastomer having: a durometer of less than 40 on the Shore A scale; and an exposed textured top surface having a high coefficient of friction relative to a hard surface which the handheld device is placed thereupon so as to prevent slipping.
