ABSTRACT:
An enhancing cover for electronic game controllers comprises a controller-specific shaped cover of an absorbent material and attachments for affixing said cover to such a controller. The cover wraps around the back, and in some embodiments, the sides of the controller. In the most preferred embodiment, the cover's position is retained by releasable fasteners, such as hook-and-loop fasteners, thereby allowing removal of the cover for washing. Alternately, the cover may be fixed in place by adhesive material with peel-off protective backing. The cover may be monolithic or comprised by multiple segments. The cover may be colored to vary the appearance of the game controller. The cover may also include a glow-in-the-dark substance so as to add to the controller's novelty and to make the controller easy-to-locate, even in the dark. The cover may have any of a variety of textures, formed to fit the users' hands, or formed to provide additional friction with the users' hands.
