3M's new DI–NOC carbon fiber film that we've started offering as one of the Prizes for bit-tech's MOTM. It can only be described as a "synthetic textile" It's a flexible and lightweight carbon fiber vinyl film that looks like the real thing, only less expensive. It can be installed on both flat and curved surfaces. Textured to the touch, DI–NOC is ideal for the inside and outside of a computer chassis, keyboards, headsets, mice, or even your mobile phone. It's 8.3 mil thick and is very durable, so it withstands outdoor elements. You can apply it on your bicycle, car, or whatever you think deserves.

Bill,

Would this give some 'grip' to the back of my Viewsonic G Tablet. Maybe easier to hold and not so slippery?

john
