Product description
The submitted illustrations depict a sample that is identified as style number 52540, a set of two glow-in-the-dark remote covers. The remote covers are made of a thermoplastic elastomer. The glow-in-the-dark cover stretches to fit most remote control units. Your letter of inquiry states that the cover will glow for approximately one hour. This facilitates finding a remote in a dark room. The cover measures approximately 6 inches long by 2-3/8 inches wide by ¾ inch high. The top is almost completely open to provide access to all of the control buttons. The cover is not in the nature of a container or case but functions as a holder to provide a better grip and increased visibility.
