Apple TV 4K remote control shell

This a slim and subtle remote shell for the Apple TV 4K remote control.With the Apple TV remotes being annoying smooth and symmetric it can be hard to tell the orientation without looking, and slide around more than my liking so everything about this upgrade is designed to give a subtle texture and tactile indication of direction even in the dark While still being sleek and light.  Adds very little bulk to the remote while immediately giving you feedback on its orientation. It adds several subtle comfort and ergonomic improvements such as:A slightly asymmetrical design for easy orientation in the darkThe back is slightly thicker than the frontThe base is slightly thicker than the top.Unobtrusive side grip indentations on the rear only.A flat directionally textured bottom surface with no supports needed.Perfect friction fit with no hardware or adhesives.Just push through the Apple logo port on the bottom to remove it.Thin but strong-walled design that sits just under flush with no lip, so you hardly notice it's there.Not required but for even more grip a very VERY slow light sanding with a coarse sandpaper (I use 80 grit) gives it a smooth almost fabric-like feel and increases the bottom texture significantly.  I like it both ways, but ultimately found myself using the sanded version.Prints flat on the bottom textured surface with no supports to create the textured bottom. I recommend printing in PLA @ .2mm on a SMOOTH PEI surface for best adhesion and fit.  I pre-set up the project to use Hilbert curves for the bottom flats and Concentric lines for the inner top which gives a nice effect on inspection but won't be seen in daily use.
