If you just have slippage issues this should be great! It's only if you clench pencils too tightly and need a soft grip that this won't work.

The rubber band might not slip, but if it is the type with a square cross-section, then it will be able to roll quite easily. I recommend using the flat type. Although first and foremost, I recommend not doing this at all. What happens when you sharpen the pencil and it changes in length?

aar000n3y is right it could slip up and down, but it still looks cool.

This grip wouldn't work well. The rubber band can easily slide up and down, and it it doesn't cushion the pencil. It probably doesn't even stay on well since the rubber band could just loosen and the overlapped ends would just fall off.

I assume this is purely decorative, rather than giving any functional benefit (i.e. less finger strain/soreness after holding the pencil for a long time)?
