Choosing a protective cover for your remote control: grip, color, and glow in the dark

A remote control is often left lying on the table or the sofa and therefore falls more easily than you might think. A silicone protective cover prevents a fall from causing immediate damage, provides more grip during use, and is also a fun way to give your remote control its own color.

In our collection of remote control covers, you will find silicone cases for various LG and Samsung remote controls, including variants that glow in the dark. This sub-collection falls under the broader category of Remote Controls, where you will also find television remote controls, mediabox remote controls, and remote controls for air conditioning and climate control.

What is a protective cover for a remote control?

A protective cover is a flexible silicone sleeve that fits perfectly around your remote control. The cover leaves all buttons accessible so that you can continue to use the remote control normally, but it absorbs shocks during a fall and protects against dust, stains, and light scratches.

Why a protective cover is useful

• it absorbs the impact if the remote control falls off the sofa or table;
• silicone provides more grip, which means the remote control is less likely to slip out of your hands;
• it keeps dirt, dust, and stains away from the buttons;
• it is available in multiple colors, including variants that glow in the dark, so that you can quickly find your remote control even in a dark room.

Which remote controls are the covers suitable for?

The covers are custom-made for each model, so that cutouts for buttons and sensors fit exactly. In the collection, you will find covers for:

• LG AKB76037605 / AKB75095308: suitable for the commonly used LG Smart TV remote controls with this model or support number;
• LG AKB75855501: suitable for this specific LG model, recognizable by the number on the back of your remote control;
• Samsung BN59-01175N: suitable for this Samsung TV remote control.

Not sure which model you have? Check the back of your remote control: there is usually a model number starting with AKB (LG) or BN59 (Samsung).

Choosing a color: from neutral to glow in the dark

Every cover is available in multiple colors: black, red, and blue for a neutral or eye-catching look, and glow blue or glow green for a variant that glows softly in the dark. The latter is not only fun, but also practical: you can find your remote control without having to turn on the light or search the sofa with your hands.

Do you have multiple remote controls at home, for example for a TV, mediabox, and air conditioner? Then you can also use color to distinguish between devices, so you can see at a glance which cover belongs to which device.

More grip during use

In addition to protection against falls, the silicone structure also provides more grip. This is especially pleasant if you often hold the remote control with one hand, or if there are children or pets in the house that might cause a remote control to slip out of someone's hands more easily.

Which cover fits your remote control?

First, check the model number on the back of your remote control (AKB... for LG, BN59... for Samsung) and then choose the cover that matches it. Then choose the color that suits your interior, or go for a glow-in-the-dark variant if you want to be able to find your remote control quickly in the dark.

What to look out for when choosing

• the exact model number of your remote control (can be found on the back);
• whether you want a neutral color or a striking, glow-in-the-dark variant;
• whether you want to use different colors for multiple remote controls in the house;
• that the remote control pictured itself is not included; you are only purchasing the protective cover.
