Now after a night of research i realize there are gazillions of material combinations and techniques to give a surface more grip and just the public/marketing reduces all to one term.

My gripe seems to be with bad and/or cheap mixtures of Styrene Ethylene Butylene Styrene SEBS used in the early days and in low end products nowadays.

Only the name would be enough so i can research further for myself. Thank you!

EDIT, Is there any image where we can see the new back? The NY attendees understandably concentrated on the front and i did not see a picture of the new back surface.
We have changed the coating and the oxidising process of metal of the back cover to make it more matte. And that's all. Compared with July units that you have seen, the new back cover certainly being less slippery and captures less fingerprint. Feedback we received compared with July back cover has been mostly positive given it's easier to grip and leaves less things on it.
