Sean Bonner had an expensive mishap in a taxi where he lost his precious iPod Touch - damn thing just slip-slided its way out of his pocket without him even realising.  And knowing that it was just the sort of thing that would happen to him again (with the replacement, of course), he took a trip down to his nearest Apple Store to pick up a case with slightly more friction.  As many iPod Touch owners have found, however, while there are plenty of iPhone accessories like that, the newness of the Touch means it’s tricky to get them in-store (though obviously places like our very own iPod Touch Accessory Store have plenty to choose from!) so Sean, being a DIY sort of guy, crafted his own solution with some skateboard grip tape.

Now some of you might shy away from sticking high-texture sticky tape onto the back of your shiny PMP, but in Sean’s (admittedly not all too stringent) tests it works pretty well:

“In the hour since I did this the iPod hasn’t slipped at all. Actually it hasn’t moved at all. It’s been sitting on my bed without being touched, so perhaps that isn’t the best road test. It definitely doesn’t feel like it’s going to slip, though it might wear a hole in my pocket or sand off my finger prints” Sean Bonner
