Default Tour feels slippery compared to curve

Please Login to Remove!

I have smaller hands and the Tour just doesn't feel as comfortable in my hand. I use my right pinky to support it when using one hand, and it constantly feels like it's slipping out of my hand.

Anyone else noticing this?

Its a matter of preference, I have used a skin with every device. The outer skin was minimal.

Yeah, I might go try one. If it's really thin and doesn't add much bulk, I might give it a go.

Tried a skin. Didn't like how much size it added to the device. It was the verizon one. Maybe I'll keep trying other brands and look for a really thin one.

Someone else had the same problem with their iPod a couple of years ago. They came up with an interesting solution:

Make your iPod Touch Slip-free

hmm, maybe a small 2mm patch on the bottom just to the left of the mic would do the trick. thanks for the idea!

Any time. I've used grip tape on many tools and it works well for me. They make grip tape in a bunch of different colors but I stick to black, white and clear.
