   improvement on the basic anti skid pad., July 20, 2014

   Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

   I purchased a 3 pack of the flat cling surfaces before from a different seller. I have been happy with that purchase but keep finding uses for them, so I picked up another pack of the flat pads and saw this pad listed, figured I would give it a try.

   This is made out of the same material but is a much thicker pad, the side ridges help additionally against turning force flinging items, though I have never had a problem with that with anything other than sunglasses on the flat pads. The main purpose for getting this set is the phone stand availability, and for that purpose this anti skid pad works perfectly. The anti skid pad does have enough contact along the bottom ridge of the phone and the two sides that it will not get sent flying during a wild turn.

   I live in Oregon, and though we have had hotter summers lately than usual they are no where near as hot as some and we get cloud coverage to break it up… so keep in mind that a common complaint is them melting and don’t leave them in excessive sunlight for prolonged periods.

   Very sticky pad, August 21, 2014

   Great pad and works as advertised. Keep a zip lock bag in your car to store it in when not in use to avoid it sticking to, and collecting every price of lint and debri in your glove box! If you need your phone while driving good luck getting it free. Wait until you stop and use both hands.

   Very versatile, not for every climate (heat advisory)., September 6, 2014

   This will hold a variety of devices upended and also in the trough, so it’s very versatile. I particularly liked that this is wider in the trough than some so it holds a wider variety of products/shapes. It comes with a message listed as item #3 on a piece of paper packed with the product, I don’t think the point of #3 was stressed that much in the sales ad. Specifically that this material will actually melt down under extreme heat. I had this happen and all of what melted did not clean from my dash material, though most did. For purposes of clarity extreme heat is what’s occurs on your dashboard during the summer in places like Boise, Las Vegas, Bakersfield, Yuma, Phoenix, Tucson, a lot of places in Texas and so on, you get the idea. The bottom line is if you live in a sunny and warm place and you park your car for prolonged times in the sun this may not be the product for you. It will melt, I had one melt, and it’s not just this model or manufacturer, its this synthetic it’s made of. There are less-sticky versions of this compound that endure more heat. The message is not to avoid this or other products like it, but to acquire the product advisedly being aware of where you live, where you will place the mat and your climate. In Arizona the regular summer heat and outdoor parking is enough, but remember some devices (i.e. radar detectors) develop their own heat, and so they that don’t reflect on the windshield they are made of black plastic. So, it’s a double-whammy to use a heat producing device in an already hot climate. I have one vehicle that’s garaged or parked in the shade a lot, and there are those windshield sun-blocks that go in the window for parking, so this sticky pad will be safe in that situation and vehicle. I have another vehicle that doesn’t have those protections in which I cannot use this pad. For that vehicle I acquired the other less-sticky version of this plastic. This mat is so sticky it could be used ina near verticle position an on a very irregular or purous surface. The one that could take the heat I found in an auto supply store.
