Is the "non-slip" adhesive on the fold cases reusable?

Fold 6 s-pen case.

I read the manual, it says the front frame has a "non-slip" adhesive which bonds stronger over time.

It definitely gets much much stronger over time, is this a permanent adhesive or a type of reusable silicone pad? 

I'm wondering if I and remove it and maybe rinse them off like those reusable silicone sticky pads or if I'm better off just leaving it on and not ruining the stickiness. I like to take them off an on but this sticks so well I don't wanna ruin it! Does anyone know?

Why would you want to take off something protective of your device?  Just leave them alone - it says it right there, the adhesive gets stronger over time.  Every time you remove them, you are removing some of the adhesion properties and the bond it is making with your device.

Because I want to. I'm particularly asking if the strips are adhesive, or silicone. Do you know what they are??

If the bond gets stronger with time they are adhesive. If you don't want them on take them off but if you want to leave them on do not keep removing them and taking them off or you are removing the bonding properties

Hmmm, it does not sound like you actually know what the case is built with, but thank you for trying, it's a reasonable guess to me. 🙂

They are ADHESIVE.  It says so right there in the manual.  There is no law that says silicone cannot have an adhesive applied to it.  But, if you don't want them on, by all means take them off.

Actually, no, it does not say that. They call it a "non-slip pad." And they say the "non-slip pad's adhesive force becomes stronger over time.", which is why I'm so curious about what it is made from specifically.

It says adhesive.  Silicone, by itself, absent any adhesive element, will stick for a while, but will not create a bond.

And, let's just say it is silicone and no adhesive, every time you remove it, it breaks the bond and eventually there will be no bond left.

I really don't think you know 😕 🤔 many silicone adhesive products are reusable after washing. That's why I'm asking.
