SKY TV owners go wild for cheap ‘must-buy’ accessory that could save you money

IF you have Sky TV you might want to consider protecting your remote from costly damage.

A new Sky zapper costs over £30 to replace.

But a protective sleeve costs a fraction of that, so it could save you money in the long run.

There's one on Amazon at the moment that's glow-in-the-dark.

So it should be a tad easier to find at night as well.

• Sky TV remote sleeve at Amazon for £8.93 –

The sleeve also has the advantage of helping you avoid scuffing the remote.

It only costs £8.93.

The clever accessory has a decent 4.4/5 rating on Amazon with almost 400 customer reviews.

One buyer wrote: "Great cover for Sky Q remote.

"Our dog ate the back of our controller!

"This keeps batteries in and we can find it easily now.

"Also helps to soften the landing when remote hits the floor."

Another added: "Fits like a glove. Stops the remote sliding off the arm of the chair and is easy to find amongst your clutter!'

And one noted: "It shows up well on the bed so I can easily find it at night."

A few long-time Sky customers also added that it helps to keep "broken" remotes together.

But not all of the reviews were positive. One troubled owner said: "OK. But my dog now thinks it's a toy."

The accessory isn't an official Sky product, but it should fit a standard Sky Q remote.

And it's available for Prime delivery, so paid-up Amazon members can bag fast delivery.
