I hated that I didn't have a good grip on it, that I often held it wrong and got unintentional inputs, that if I set it down on my belly or sofa it would slide away. This photo shows my new case and how well it solves these problems. The remote is on a sofa pillow at a very steep angle and won't slide.
This works great and I don't care if Jony Ive hates me.
