Guide Review - Grip-It Strips

I was intrigued by the idea of Grip-It Strips when asked to review them. I didn't realize how really cool they are. Not only do they make it easier to hang on to your laptop or other hand held gadgets but you can have some fun with them.

How often do you find a mobile accessory that is really fun? The Grip-It Strips are available in 5 different colors and I can honestly say you should order some of each color.

There are instructions included for how to place the Grip-It Strips but sample ideas on how they should be placed but you can place them anywhere they are most comfortable and with whatever pattern you wish.

I received a selection of all available colors and while it was great to be able to see how they really look; it was bad in that I kept trying different color combinations and patterns.

I looked at them as not only a way to make it easier and more comfortable to carry my laptops when I don't need to use a laptop bag, but as a personal statement. If you are lucky and you have a favorite sports team you might even be able to arrange the Grip-It Strips in that team's colors.

Which is of course what I did when I realized I had the right colors.

The material that the Grip-It Strips is made from is quite durable and they don't slip around once applied. You can remove them and they don't leave marks or any sticky residue.

I really believe that everyone who tries the Grip-It Strips will find that they are very useful and easy to attach to their laptop and any other mobile gadgets.

You may even find other uses for them with your other computer equipment or gadgets in your home office. I've applied a couple sections of Grip-It Strips on the top of my flatbed scanner as too many times I've reached to open it and dropped the lid.

These are a definite recommended mobile gear accessory.
