how coarse is this tape? i was thinking of using pieces on my phone case, but don't want something scraping up my hands or pockets.

It is pretty coarse, but I don't think it would hurt you. Just don't let it come into contact with the screen of your phone.

Its coarse but not damaging in my experience. My brother uses it on the edges of his cell phone case and has no issues as far as I know. The tape sticks very well to most surfaces except metals

It is fairly course but not enough to abrade your fingers. I use it much the same as you might to provide extra grip on a handle. Be sure to clean the surface well before you apply tape. Regular alcohol works great for this.

I use it on the grip frame of my concealed carry pistol. It does not damage the overlying clothing, and I would not hesitate to use it for an application where it would be handled more frequently, like a phone case.

It is extremly coarse. I would not recommend it for a pocket phone. (I had a completly different use for it.)

Super coarse, I had to hit it a few time with a light coat of black spray paint.

Mine was something like 120 grit sandpaper. Pretty abrasive. You can strike a match on it easily.

At first it felt really rough on my hands but after handling it for a while the really course stuff was worn off. Now it feels very grippy but it does not bother me anymore. Honestly I think it would be a head ache if it was on my phone case. It would be tough to get out of the pocket.

Easy. Take something that is soft and plastic and pry gently along the pieces that clasp to it. It won't make any marks if you do it right.

Use dust or oil from your hands to lower the tackiness on the phone side if necessary. It will prevent it from sticking to your phone too.

I haven't used the tape on any cloth-covered books, but since I like to make myself useful to people, and since I still have some of the tape, I decided to test it. I taped a small piece to a linen-covered box, and it adhered neatly. I left it for five minutes, then came back and peeled it off. It peeled off pretty easily. I know that it can be peeled off cardboard, too, but not quite as easily.Bottom line is, I don't know whether this will work for you.

We used this tape to bind homemade book covers. Masking tape is too thin to be sturdy. Vinyl tape seemed too slick and the adhesive seemed too gooey. Duct tape was too slick and gooey also, plus it breaks down with time. This tape blended well with the covers and gave crisp clean lines. We actually cut the tape in 1/2 inch wide strips the length of what we needed. We would have preferred a 1/2 inch wide roll for our projects, but could not find any. If you are needing tape for temporary projects, the other tapes will work, but if you want a professional long lasting tape, this is good stuff. We used this tape to bind homemade book covers.

This tape cannot be torn by hand you either need to use a dispenser or have a knife because it is a tough tape. I ship every day as part of my job and it is a shipping tape quality. I would guess the mil thickness between 4 and 6 mils. Hope this is helpful.

This is a tape, not a liquid product. If you prep the surface and it's not too cold, it sticks like iron. Never tape over wet or rusted areas.

I wasn't sure about this, so I whipped out a file and started going to town and there was no problem. Just filed down like a regular tip. I wasn't using a super coarse file, but I don't think it really matters. My nails tend to be more square then the practice wheel, but I am not using them to make a perfect representation of a design, just get the feel of how colors might work together or do a tester for free-handing so the shape doesn't bother me. Hope this was helpful! :)

The adhesive is very strong as I used this for 2 of my laptops, cellphones and some wood decorations. I would definitely not recommend this for flat walk on surfaces as the vinyl material is not made for every day friction. I did use this as a customize slim protector film for my cellphone and after maybe 4 months it started peeling of and tearing. Personal I toss my phones around my desk and my pocket and with such every day wear and tear, the vinyl broke apart. Hope this helps.

I have been using a soft cloth that I spray with fantastic, then wipe off case. (Do not spray directly on case). Have had case for over a year now still looks good.

There are times when the corner bumpers can catch depending on which pocket you're using. I wear carpenter pants and use the leg pocket and it was tight... I removed 1 of the bumpers and kept it for use later. Phone is still safe... Another thing, initially the case was a little slick at first but that resolved itself within a week

Just peel it and stick it to your phone. It will cling to the phone with static

I just went and felt the tape I put on my basement stairs (a couple years ago now). It's like there are little granules/grit sprinkled throughout, but they're beneath a sort of coating of soft polymer. (I've noted before how it doesn't even feel uncomfortable to bare feet as you go quickly down the stairs, and I guess that's why.) I have wood floors myself, and I'd be comfortable trying what you said, though I'd make a note to check after 6 months or so to see if that coating wears off and exposes the granules/grit, which then might be abrasive to the floors. You're putting a lot of concentrated weight on the bottom rails of a rocking chair, so it might wear off faster than just people walking down stairs.

It is like a cloth tape, very tacky and sticks extremely well. My experience with vinyl tape is tears, sharp corners/edges and not very professional looking.

I would personally be hesitant to use the glue. However, the tape alone didn't really suffice for me. I purchased a pre-cut adhesive (packaged similarly to a screen protector) Excellent results.
