   If you’re tired of having an inferior TV remote experience, then this is the product for you!, April 16, 2016

   Every single TV remote ever made has been a marvel of engineering and precision manufacturing, and they sure look good on the website and on display. The problem arises when want to use it, or when you want to find the damn thing. When the new TV came out, the Siri remote was no exception, but luckily someone posted a link to this case on reddit and I could tell it was a must buy.

   I wasn’t sure what to expect, but once I put it on the remote it was obvious I had made the right decision. The silicone is quite a departure from the glass and aluminum of the remote, but it feels sooooooo much better in the hand. Probably the biggest benefit of the silicone is that since I’ve had it on there, I haven’t had to fish it out from between the couch cushions. I don’t use it to play games, but I put the strap on it as an extra precaution against losing it, and that’s help me keep up with it. I personally don’t have too much use for the magnets because I don’t have anything metal nearby to attach it to, but it does add some heft to the remote which adds to how good it feels in the hand.

   My only complaint would be that the silicone covers up the edges of the touchpad a tiny bit more than I’d like, but it doesn’t really interfere that bad. I’m still able to touch the edge to initiate the 10 sec FF/RR actions, but it feels more comfortable after I push that silicone out of the way a bit. Like I said, it’s the smallest of inconveniences, and if I were rating on a tenths scale it would be a 4.9.

   If you’re tired of losing our remote, or you shiver every time the back of it scratches against something metal than you need to buy this immediately!

   If Apple made a remote cover, this would be it!, February 20, 2016

   I’ve been searching for a decent remote control cover/case for the Apple TV 4th generation. I’ve seen horrifying pictures of shattered glass after the remote has fallen from heights of 2 feet or less. Just handling the remote with no case gives me anxiety. I’ve heard the remote costs something like $80 to replace!

   A remote cover seems like something Apple should sell with the remote. This case feels like it’s designed by Apple for the remote and fits like a glove. The silicone is a nice soft feel on the hand, yet provides enough grip that it doesn’t feel like it’s going to slip from your hand easily. To me, the picture looks like a hard plastic case. It’s not. It’s soft, flexible silicone.

   The case includes a lanyard with a quick adjust feature so you can make the loop larger or smaller very easily. The lanyard is not heavy duty, but works fine for my purposes.

   There are 2 magnets incorporated into the case. It sticks flawlessly to my refrigerator, but not my 60″ vizio tv. This was the feature I cared least about and will not be a big deal to me.

   Overall, this remote cover eases my mind while handling the fragile, expensive Apple TV remote. The case feels great, allows full, unrestricted access to the touch pad and I’m sure provides some level of impact protection (didn’t drop it to test and don’t plan on it). If there were an apple logo on the case you’d think it was factory issued.

   Yes!, March 29, 2016

   Apple should include one of these with every Siri Remote. Without this case, the remote was constantly slipping out of my hand and I couldn’t tell which end was up without intently staring at it for a moment. This case isn’t “Apple perfect” – mine has visible seems where the two silicone halves come together. Had Apple made this case, you wouldn’t see a seam. The packaging wasn’t quite “Apple perfect”, either, but it was good enough to convey that this company puts forth decent effort into their product and packaging. So far, this is the best Siri Remote case I’ve found and was good enough to instantly prompt me to order another one for my second Apple TV 4 as soon as the first case arrived. I immediately remove the lanyard for two reasons: 1) I don’t need it and 2) it wouldn’t take much effort to tear right through the thin silicone corner that it is threaded through.
