This silicone boot protects your travel mug from scratches, bumps, and dings. It's a great accessory for anyone who loves their travel mug and wants to keep it in top condition. It significantly enhances the grip of your mug, making it less likely to slip from your hand or slide on smooth surfaces. Furthermore, it acts as a quiet buffer, eliminating the annoying clanking sound when you place your metal mug down on hard surfaces like desks or tables.
