Protect your remote control whenever it hits the ground
You must have a person in your family that always manages to drop the TV remote. This behavior may respond to anger from video game players that have thrown their remote in a fit after losing a match or simply to clumsiness and poor movement coordination. So remember this simple tip, as it will serve both easily frustrated players and negligent people.
Wrapping rubber bands around your remote control will prevent it from getting ruined every time it falls to the ground. As the picture on top shows, the rubber bands should be placed on the edges and the middle section of your device. Be careful not to let them touch any of the buttons, as that would make switching the channel somewhat difficult.
