how to prolong the life of remote control for electronic appliances (tv, compo, dvd, etc.)? I already bought two universal RC and mukhang pabigay na rin itong huli. Life is a hell without these remote controls.

So, any suggestions other than wrapping it with plastic? baka may other techniques kayo dyan. Thanks!

ps: madalas din nyo bang malaglag RC accidentally or natural born lang pagka-clumsiness ko?
