For those who don't want to give up the shoe contacts (like moi,) I have 
an el cheapo suggestion:

< Radioshack 64-2342 selfstick rubber feet (8 for $3.89)>

These are black rubber, 2cm square, with slanted edges. I stuck one to 
the rear of the top plate of my M8, to the right of "Made in Germany." 
Works like the proverbial charm: my thumb has never slipped off it.
