I have a quick comment that I would like to pass onto you. Several months back I purchased a BlackBerry Storm along with a hard plastic case which I didn’t care for at all. I saw one of your Technoskins™ and thought I would give it a try. I realized shortly thereafter it was very hard to slide in and out of my pocket because of how well it gripped. I wasn’t too thrilled about it, but got used to it. One day leaving work with hands full, I placed my coffee cup and cell phone on the roof while I opened the door. I got the door open, gathered everything up, and headed home. There is a merging lane along the way that requires a 0-60 take off to get into the flow of traffic (which I did). I was now two or three miles down and saw the person next to me trying to get my attention. I rolled my window down and heard him say, “Hey mister, your cell phone is on the roof!” I quickly pulled over, got the phone, and thought maybe the gripping power isn’t that bad after all! Thanks for saving my phone and having such a great product. - William in Fayetteville, NC TECHNOSKINS S Slider Skins are the latest and greatest in the wireless world. Due to the sleekness, wide range of colors available, and the various unique design processes that can be applied, they are one of the most versatile accessories when it comes to target market. Slider Skins are high-gloss and smooth water resistant products that allow you to easily slide your handset in and out of pockets - hence the name! BUMPERS PERFORATED TEXTURED MATERIAL WRAPPED ENGRAVED These sliders are formed with an engraved texture on the inside, allowing for a unique 3-dimensional appearance. Look familiar?
