Excellent quality. Highly recommended!
Excellent quality and packaging was very secure and minimal but recyclable! I love the cell of the remote control of silicone skin. Both a nicely vibrant colors and easy to find. The worst straps are seriously heavy duty. That's great for gaming. I didn't need them but the silicone protection is amazing. I have two Apple TVs. The price you can't beat anywhere else.
If you've ever dropped an apple remote, you quickly discover that the remote is partially made of glass. They are expensive to replace.
Save yourself a headache and get these.

Prepare to love your Apple remote again!
This is a must buy for anyone that owns an Appte TV. The remotes are small, and sleek, and slippery. My whole family drops or loses the remote constantly. It was a constant struggle.
After slipping on the teal blue silicon sleeve it was like we had a whole new remote.
It makes the remote much less slick feeling. Not nearly as easy to drop.
The bright blue color makes it super simple to spot in the couch cushions or on the counter.
The sleeve provides protection from the all too common drops that happen everyday.
It does make the remote slightly thicker, but that isn't a bad thing. It fits in your hand much better and makes operation easier too.
Well worth the price and you get two!
Totally recommend these.

Great value, solves a big problem!
Wow, what a great product, so inexpensive for two, and solved one of my biggest aggravations. This remote fits perfectly over the apple TV remote. The remote is so slippery, black, and it is not designed to be able to tell which way is up. This cover solves every problem. It is no non-stick, I don't lose it anymore. I used to drop it once a day at least - no more dropping the remote. It fits just right, you can easily tell which way is the up. It fits just right, and you can still use every feature of the touch pad, the fast forward, etc. Just right!!! Excellent!!!

Great fit, tether / lanyard probably won't stay on long
A great fit and deal for the money. It's well-balanced in the hand, and makes the remote much less awkward to use. I have two Apple TV's in the house, and the different colors help keep the remotes straight.
There's a lanyard that attaches to a small little bit of silicone. Having the lanyard is nice, but it doesn't stay connected because the bit of plastic is so small, it rips even under a small force. It's still completely useful and worth the purchase to me without the lanyard, but if the lanyard is a dealbreaker for you, you may wish to reconsider. I can't imagine it staying on very long in any environment. 2 kids and a cat it lasted about 20 minutes.

Look and feel
The PINOWU sleeve is a budget-friendly, functional, and stylish upgrade for your Fire TV remote. It delivers reliable protection, better grip, and even a glow-at-night feature, all at a sensible price. Just watch for compatibility issues with newer remotes and expect a snug fit that requires a bit of effort to remove occasionally. If you’re looking to safeguard your remote from drops, keep it visibly handy, and enjoy an extra bright color option, this sleeve is worth considering.
