  • Publication number: 20160311192
    Abstract: Various implementations include an anti-slip pad for use with a portable electronic device. The anti-slip pad may prevent the portable electronic device from slipping out of the user's hand or across a surface, for example. As described below, the pad includes a non-slip layer and an adhesive layer that are permanently affixed to each other. The non-slip layer has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side of the non-slip layer has a non-slip surface. The adhesive layer is affixed to the second side of the non-slip layer. The adhesive layer is configured for being removably adherable to an outer surface of the portable electronic device such that the non-slip layer faces away from the outer surface. The adhesive layer allows the pad to be selectively repositioned on the portable electronic device, according to some implementations.
