Dexcom G7 GripShield Flexible and Reusable CGM Armor-Protection from Accidental Bumps (Aqua)

Patience in initial alignment over my CGM device equals confidence & ease in subsequent applications. Fits perfectly and provides secure coverage to maintain CGM placement stability during activities. No skin irritation experienced. Adhesive cover residue is easily and completely removed with GooGone (or specialty pads) when needed. This is a very cost-effective CGM accessory, as no dislodgment of CGM has occurred since purchase, thus eliminating a need for unscheduled, inconvenient & costly CGM devoice replacement. I am ordering a back-up before potential import tariffs could increase production/shipping costs. This device is a valued companion component to my CGM in monitoring my health. Highly recommend!

I have been using these for 2 years now. about 4 times a year I need to replace the Patch before the sensor expires. That saves a lot of hassle/cost trying to get a replacement sensor due to failed adhesive. I do use the Simpatch with them though. They are largest patch I can find.

I purchased the Expressionmed and the Glucomart brands to compare. The 2 brands had similar designs. so to make it as fair as possible i purchased the stars/universe designs of both so they had similar color and design. I found that the expressionmed is a more papery patch. it is rougher and wrinkles once it gets wet and dries. The patch did stay the entire 10 days with some lifting on the outside as well as wrinkling near the CGM. I prepped my skin by washing with a mild soap and using alcohol on a cotton ball and allowed to air dry. i paired both patches with the "Deck my diabetes" Gripshield reusable CGM Armor Protection in the glow green color. as my arm is drying I peel off the backing of the patch in the inside leaving only the tails on each end, I insert the shield through the hole, inside to outside and lightly press the shield onto the patch. Once my CGM is inserted i first use the over patch in the Dexcom 7 box, then I can apply the CGM protective shield with the decorative over patch ensuring that my CGM is protected for the entire use. Glucomart is a silkier patch, I was worried about it initially but it conforms better to your skin and does not wrinkle like the ExpressionMed patches. I experienced no rashing, hives or breakouts with either patch and I have sensitive skin and a latex allergy. I swim a lot and preping my CGM the way i do has been very beneficial to staying on the entire 10 days without having to change patches. If you do need to change your over patch using the protective shield allows you to pull off the top over patch without jeopardizing the smaller over patch.All in all ExpressionMed patches get a 6/10 due to quality and functionThe Glucomart patches 10/10and the Gripshield Armor 10/10hope this helps.

I like the cover a lot. I am, however, the delivery driver did not put it in a secure spot (it was very windy) and after hours of looking for it i found it 100ft away laying up against my neighbors house

This is a great product! I love that the base is wider to make sure my over patch secures the device in place.It is flexible, but is more of a plastic feel. Has little notches that fit into the dexcom g7. I wanted more colors and this company offers some unique options that are fun! I got pink, glow in the dark and a baby blue color!They do come with two hypoallergenic over patches that are soft to touch and easy to peel off. It doesnt leave a black ring around the edges or much of. The patches do last a few days before the outer layer piles.I will be back for patches. They last longer than others Ive tried. The paper is cut differently to allow EASY application.

Update 7-5- 24I noticed when attaching my 2nd gripshield it looked slightly warped. I applied it as I did the first one, after 24 hours the gripshield was pulling up on one side ripping my overlay patch. I reapplied another overlay but that did not stop it. I can't take it off due to the sensor possibly coming off and we all know those sensors are not cheap. I contacted deck my diabetes through email and told them the 2nd one was defective. They asked for a picture of it on my arm and I sent it. They came up with every reason that it could be my fault. Why would I give such glowing reviews for the first one but saying anything negative about the 2nd one was met with user fault. I never asked for my money to be returned only a replacement. Also I have to cut it up and send picture proof before they will replace. I have 5 days left on my sensor, I'm willing to do what they ask after my sensor expires but the way they went about it was very unprofessional. It's a 12 dollar piece of silicone and they act like I'm trying to rip them off. I really liked the first one but at this point I will replace it myself and hope for the best so I can have a backup. Shame on you Deck my diabetes for treating a customer as if they're not telling the truth after I sent everything you requested. I will be looking elsewhere for future diabetic needs. I know items can be faulty but their customer service don't seem to agree.Update:The gripshield firmly kept my sensor in place with the overpatch for the full 10 days. I bumped my arm a few times and it did its job. Pretty impressed, I did order a 2nd one and replaced my sensor yesterday. Took off the old one and I swear it would of held up for several more days, and that's showering everyday. If you're on the fence buy it, very flexible and didn't feel any different with it on. Was comfortable.I bought the clear one, first time using this and it is pretty great. I do use it on my arm, bumped into the door frame and didn't move. I bought different overpatches that will fit over it but the product comes with 2. Easy to put over my Dexcom G7 and I used the overpatch that came with the gripshield. I really like them so much, even after several days of showers it hasn't lifted at all. I live in Florida where it's so hot and sweat and it's still secure. I'm pretty impressed and I don't say that very often about things. I ordered another one as a backup and probably will be ordering their overpatches as well, keeping the ones I bought as a backup. Granted I'm only on day 4 so I'll update after 10 days again. Worth the money.

I mean I suppose this product is ok for some. For me it was and extra step that was a waste of time and money in my opinion
