I think the surface on the other half makes Jolla the most slippery phone I've ever used. Well maybe my Motorola Defy was even more slippery. I have really big hands so it's not that my hand doesn't grab it properly.
If the sides would be a bit "rubberish" it would help a lot.

Hey,
i had a simular Problem with my Jolla... So i designed a protection / antislip-shaped other half:
i ordered a rapid-prototyping model made of this.
as soon as it arrives from the manufacturer i'll send some more pictures.
who ever likes this can have the .stl model of this prototype.
you can download it here (it is not tested so far...):

The Other Half arrived Today!
i Have to admit, that i had to do a little correction - due to i did not think off the phone expanding slightly with its front (rounded front). The Plug for the 3,5 audio can't be used - the hole is too small :-(
but get an impression here:
i will upload a 3D model with the adjustments as soon as the job is done.
have fun
Very cool! Nice effort!! I can imagin that Dirk van Leersum (FunkyOtherhalf.com) would be very interested in the .stl model :D

Simple, but good idea!
LaruX ( 2013-12-27 09:49:08 +0200 )editGreat idea! The sides and the bottom (for people with smaller hands) should have better grip.
Nicolas ( 2013-12-27 09:56:12 +0200 )editMy Jolla just slept away... :-(. Still works :-)
NikosAlexandris ( 2013-12-27 14:06:27 +0200 )editYes please! Because of its size and the slippery Other Half, I am afraid of dropping it. Single handed use is a no-no for me.
Joyce ( 2013-12-27 15:42:46 +0200 )editYeah, we really need something like this, the current OHs are way to slippery IMHO. I really liked the silicone cover of the N9, so a OH with that kind of coating would be really nice.
