Textural Fidget-Friendly Technology Strips

The 'Fidget Strips' Can Be Added onto Any Device

— July 7, 2021 — Lifestyle
The 'Fidget Strips' are an aftermarket accessory for placement on your choice of technology product to allow for fidgeting throughout the day whenever the mood strikes. The strips are characterized by their textural finish that comes in two choices including one that's more satiny and another that focuses on a coarser touch. The strips can be positioned onto a wide range of surfaces and devices, and will provide avid fidgeters with a dedicated spot to feel, scratch and fiddle with when they're at school or working.

The 'Fidget Strips' come in several colors to choose from, and are designed to be easily positioned and removed without leaving a mark on the surface. The strips speak to the increased acceptance of fidgeting as a way to alleviate stress and anxiety amongst children as well as adults.
