My mobile phone has a "rubber" casing fixed to its plastic body, which

casing is TPE. I say that Evostik doesn't adhere to it. Has anyone
succesfully glued TPE onto a rigid substrate? With what?

The best results I've had (camera grip) have been with double-sided
adhesive tape. It still starts peeling away after a few weeks' though.

Cancel that.

The grip came off (again)
I double-sided taped it (again) and it fell off right away.
I cleaned it and degreased it and used "real" Evostik and..
...it fell off right away.
Aww... Who needs a rubber grip on a camera anyway?

You could try polyurethane wood glue. Gluing up a door frame yesterday,
some dripped onto my cheap plastic *gumboots* There's a word from the
past:-)
This morning I tried to peel it off and found it well stuck. In the
past, I have tried repairing these boots as they crack at the flexure
points after 12 months daily use. Hot melt, tyre cement etc. simply peel
off.

I'd try some Seriously strong stuff ultimate adhesive. Have used it for a few things and it was impressive. Example, sticking rearview mirror onto screen in car. Lasted longer than the original - at least until we disposed of the car. At least as good as the purpose-sold stuff. Only downside was slower at setting in winter.

Advantage of being cheaper - well, when you take into account amount.
