Remote Cover for Sky Q+ Controller – Shockproof Protective Case with Hand Loop
Product description
The essentials
If you’re after a simple way to make a Sky remote feel a bit more “survived-by-life”, this remote cover is aimed at everyday knocks, scrapes and the inevitable moments it slips off a sofa arm. It’s designed specifically for Sky Q Box Touch/Non-Touch remotes, plus Sky Glass and Sky Stream remotes, using a full-body silicone-style build to help cushion drops.
On paper, the value comes from the combination of protection and grip. The textured outer aims to improve hold, while the shock-absorbing flexible material is meant to reduce the force when the remote hits the ground. It also includes a hand loop/strap, which is handy if you tend to hang your remote up, carry it around the house, or just want an easier way to keep track of it.
What it’s for (and what to expect)
This is a protective case rather than a “feature upgrade”. So you shouldn’t expect it to change button feel, add extra controls, or improve remote performance. Instead, it focuses on reducing damage risk from bumps, scratches and small accidents.
A useful way to picture it: imagine the moment you reach for the remote in the dark and your hand slips slightly. A textured, anti-slip surface can make that small difference, so you’re less likely to drop it. If it does fall, the shock-absorbing material is there to take the sting out of the impact.
Where it stands out
The strongest angle is the full-body approach. Compared with partial covers, a full wrap generally offers more consistent protection across the remote’s body, which matters because damage often comes from the remote landing on different sides.
The second practical win is grip. The cover’s textured surface is designed to feel comfortable and help prevent accidental slips. For many people, that’s more noticeable than people expect—because most remote drops happen during routine use, not careful handling.
Finally, the included strap/loop is a practical add-on. If you’re the type who likes to hang the remote near the TV, or you sometimes move between rooms, having something you can carry or loop can reduce the “where is it?” problem.
Key features to check before buying
Before you buy, it’s worth double-checking fit and compatibility based on your exact remote version. The listing indicates compatibility for:
- Sky Q Box Touch/Non-Touch remotes
- Sky Glass remote
- Sky Stream TV remote
Because remote shapes can vary even within the same product family, you’ll want to make sure your remote matches what it’s designed for. The description also mentions easy installation, described as sliding the remote into the cover within “several seconds”, but it doesn’t provide full step-by-step detail—so if you prefer a very rigid, snap-on fit, you may want to be cautious about how it seats.
Also, note that while shock protection is the headline, no case can fully prevent damage from heavier impacts. Think of this as “damage-reduction” rather than an insurance policy.
Usage tips
Once fitted, treat it like part of your everyday setup. For example, if you keep the remote on a side table, the cover’s hand loop can make it easier to pick up securely without fumbling. If kids or pets are around, the extra grip can reduce the chance of slips when the remote is passed around.
If you swap rooms frequently (living room to bedroom), the strap can help you carry it more confidently. And if you’re already used to protecting electronics with cases, this should feel like a similar mindset—simple, low effort, but potentially very worth it in the long run.
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you want a snug, shock-absorbing remote cover for Sky Q (Touch/Non-Touch), Sky Glass, or Sky Stream, and you care as much about grip as you do about protection. The textured surface and included hand loop/strap are the parts likely to make daily use easier.
It might not be the best choice if you’re trying to solve a compatibility issue—if you’re unsure which exact remote you have, you could end up with a fit that doesn’t sit as well as you’d like. And if you’re expecting premium “upgrade” features, this stays firmly in the protective cover category.
