Product Description
The Apple TV Siri Remote has a problem: It is too symmetrical.
How many times have you picked up the remote and had to turn it around in your hand. Meanwhile you accidently activate some sort of gesture on the control pad.
It seems that whomever designed the Apple TV Gen4 remote was too obsessed with symmetry and forgot they were designing something that is meant to be held in your hand.
This 3D printed skin solves this problem. Simply slide it onto the remote and instantly you get a good indicator of which end is which.
The skin slides into the gap between the glass and the metal. It is far slimmer than the many rubber remote "condoms" on the market.
Since it sits below the glass it doesn't affect the nice feel of the remote. The 3D printed surface adds some grip to the remote, and the open back still allows you to feel the cool metal surface of the remote.
I recommend sliding the part on and off the remote about a dozen times. Due to tolerances in the 3D printing process, it may take a few cycles of this to wear down the edge to ensure it doesn't fit to tight.
