This $8 accessory solves every single problem with the Apple TV remote
Apple's TV remote is super slick, but the elago R1 Intelli Case is made of a soft silicone that adds much-needed resistance to the surface of the remote. It shouldn't slip into your couch cushions as easily this way.
The remote's touchpad is overly sensitive, but the Intelli Case provides a nice buffer along the perimeter of the touchpad so you shouldn't accidentally graze it as often.
Most importantly, the design of the Intelli Case makes it so you'll always know which end of the remote is up. For anyone familiar with the Apple TV remote, this is a subtle but huge quality-of-life improvement.
It even has a lanyard! You can't lose the remote if it's attached to your wrist.
The Intelli Case also has magnets built in, which means you can keep your Apple TV remote attached to any magnetic surface — like your TV, or fridge — so you never lose it.
Elago sells the Intelli Case in six different colors.
Black seems like the way to go, though.
It's pretty incredible that an $8 accessory can improve upon Apple's design in so many significant ways.
You can buy the R1 Intelli Case for $8 on Amazon, or $9 on Elago's website.
