It's not in a case?

I think a case (or different case) would solve the problem. Mine case is clear with a bit of a rubbery feel.

Does it fall due to vibrations from alerts.. or literally because it is so slippery? Mine is in a fairly slippery case but it has enough weight to stay when i put it on the table.. unless it is vibrating and on the edge.

What kind of phone is it?

No, it doesn't have a case. Generally I have not had issues without a case. And I had to buy my current phone in a hurry.

I love the feel of the naked phone (iphone I presume), but it is too slippery. I reluctantly bought a case for mine.

Is it an iphone? I have an iphone, a Macbook pro and apple TV remotes. They are all super slippery--drives me nuts. The phone is in a case, so that helped. The apple TV remote is the worst. I bought a silicone case for it but it interfered with operating it a bit. Finally just switched over to Roku. Huge improvement.

I also prefer my phone to be naked. I hate the extra bulk of a case. I put a glass protector on the face. It can be a bit slippery, but I haven't had it fall off of surfaces.

I always have a case for my phone (multiple iPhones). My hands are small and my phone is large and has a slippery hand-feel. I always get the kind that has a slight rubbery grip and I've never been sorry.

I had to take my case off not to long ago for a couple of hours. Although I prefer the thinness of the caseless phone, I could not hold on to it. I think my case is a clear Otterbox.

teeda, because of his Parkinson’s, the Roku remote would often slip out of DH’s hand. I bought these and they work great. No interference with the remote at all.

When I first got this phone it was so slippery! My old phone has kind of a rubber edge that was enough to keep it from sliding out of a pocket but still easy to intentionally slide out. So a week after I got k this phone, I got a clear case for it. When it started to tear, I bought a new case and my DH uses the old one, because HIS phone slips and slides.

I always get a case - and a screen protector - for my phones and other devices. I usually won't use a new phone or device until I have it protected like that. I buy silicone cases that protect from impact. Never had any probs with slipperiness - or cracked screens either.

Ebay's a good source for inexpensive cases and screen protectors, IMPE.

I have my iPhone in a case that adds very little weight and has made it easier to hold, not bulky at all. I have small hands and don't want a case that chunky. My case also has a velvety matte texture that makes it easy to grip. If I didn't have my phone in a case it would be very slippery and that's why I had to get a case for it..

I had the same problem. Had to get a case. Naked phones are so nice, and go into pockets better. But they are too slickery.

I guess they are made to look and feel sexy naked so you buy them, but are made slick so you buy a case, preferably from the phone maker.

the wok will have great accoustics for your playlist, though.

Though I have my phone in a case, I do not use one on my Ipad mini. I do have a strip of Transderm medical tape on the back to give it a bit of ”traction”

A case with some silicone on the back and edges. Grippy.

Or you could hire a phone minder. I love the beauty of the plain phones, but they are slippery rascals.

Those aluminum iphone cases are too slippery even for my hands.

There are super slim cases that barely impact the size. They're not very protective from drops, but they will help make the phone less slippery. Peel is one brand -- or just search for "slimmest phone case".
