Omnipod Grip Shield with Comfort Ring. Designed by Deck My Diabetes. Reusable, Flexible One-Handed Application(2 Overlay Patches Included!) (Neon Teal)

I usually wear my Omnipod 5 unit on my waist right about my belt-line. The pod has a tendency to get snagged on my pants or jacket and this little soft plastic "bumper" gives just enough protection to avoid that. I use a second sticky patch over it and the pod and the only issue is that then it is hard to remove without some help. (I use a liquid adhesive solvent to soften the over-patch and then it comes right off. ) These pods are too important (to a diabetic) and too expensive to risk having one get pulled off before its time.

This product has been a game changer! It has worked for both my OmniPod Dash and OmniPod 5 pods. It helps keep the pod’s adhesive from folding during placement, as well as making the pod easier to grip when placing. It does require slightly larger pod covers however, but I use the Nuanchu waterproof OmniPod adhesive patches and it works great (I just have to cut off the small center strip of the patch for a better fit). Overall, helps so much with pod longevity! Accidental bumps are much less likely to dislodge the cannula, and if I end up needing to replace an adhesive patch before the pod is ready to be changed, I can just remove the adhesive with the grip and save the pod.

It is not what they described it it is not worth it,doesn't stay in place is uncomfortable to wear,

When it is put on, it stays straight not molded to the arm unless use a wrap on it.

Doesn’t fit correctly over the omnipod 5

I wish I would have listened to my 4 year old whe he complained that it was bothering him. This left wounds all around its placement location. It is not soft silicon, it is plastic and I thouht it didn't look comfortable when I saw it, but I trusted it since I saw it in several diabetes sites. I should have trusted my instincts instead.

patches not large enough as they come off too easy. Not big enough. too small for frame of Omnipod, come off very easy especially when you don't want them to.

The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because you can not apply the cover up piece easily. I ended up wasting one of the covers it was not worth I paid. The cover wouldn't even go over the plastic piece and then the edges of the plastic piece curved up. I would like to return it not what I expected.
