egrips® technology
When people first come in contact with egrips technology material, their most common reactions are, "What IS this stuff?", "Is it Magnetic?", "How is it so sticky?", "Can I put it on my kids?" ...
Well, "This Stuff" is not a magnet, nor is it sticky, but the amazing performance of egrips® Technology Material is nothing short of magical.
Made from a specially formulated, patent pending, dimpled silicone elastomer, the material has an extremely high coefficient of friction, which prevents devices from sliding around on dry surfaces, like car seats, center consoles, counter tops, desktops, laptops and even your shirt sleeve.
