What's so infuriating about this is that it seems like they go out of their way to make the back of the phone slippery. The metal back of the iPhone 6 and 6s is like teflon and the glass on the X is almost as slippery. Why? I have an old iPhone 4 sitting on the shelf that I occasionally pickup just to marvel at how it sticks in your hand. They proved it could be done years ago.

I don't find the glass back on the X to be very slippery at all in hand. My fingers stick to it quite well. It does slide on furniture, but in hand it feels pretty secure, especially relative to older iPhones. The 4 was easier to hold because it was just so small.
