Has anyone found a way to make this mat less slippery?

Nope. I just adjust my poses to be less aggressive in the lateral forces. Sometimes I step off of the mat for more aggressive poses, which also seems to help for the balance poses (less spongy surface). Mostly I just need the matt for knee cushioning. I also wipe down my matt after each use, with a mild cleansing wipe (like Open Nature Cleansing Wipes). After about 2 years of use, 3 times a week, the surface is slightly more dull and there seems to be less slippage than when new.

Does this mat have the same guarantee that ProLite has? Does anyone know if it crumbles or is shredded easily after some use?

From the Manduka website: "Manduka guarantees the Manduka PRO®, PROlite® and PRO® Travel yoga mats to last the lifetime of the mat, if used and cared for properly." It appears that only those three types of mat are guaranteed for 10 years.

Any advice for making it more grippy?

After 2 years of 3 times a week use, and cleansing wipes after each use, the surface is slightly less slippery. But really, to prevent slippage on this mat, I just adjust my poses to be less aggressive in the lateral forces, or step off the mat for those more aggressive poses.
