My Android tablet was always on the verge of disaster, perched on a mounted tablet stand attached to my armchair table. The slightest movement or bump would send it hurtling towards the unforgiving bamboo table or carpeted floor below. I tried various materials like Velcro and textured rubber stripping to stabilize it, but nothing seemed to work, not even applied force. I was ready to give up on the idea of a tablet mounted to my recliner's mounted table. When I came across SlipToGrip Mats, my skepticism quickly turned to relief as they solved my tablet-toppling problem.The price point of these mats is fair, and I'm grateful that the manufacturer offers multiple mats in a pack on Amazon. SlipToGrip Mats have become a versatile addition to my toolkit, as they can be easily cut and attached to the back of various objects for increased adhesion. They even provide anti-vibration resistance and work well as spacers. I've recently used them on a security camera that needed to sit on a cabinet corner to get a full room view, and they held it firmly in place and allowed it to sit on an even surface. The same security camera can rotate 355 degrees horizontally and 110 degrees vertically without issue while staying in place.However, no product is perfect. These mats tend to lose effectiveness after enough time when exposed to whatever is floating around in the air (dust, dander, hair, skin flakes, etc.), rendering them practically useless. While they do prevent my tablet and devices from falling most of the time, occasionally they still take a tumble when the sticky pad is compromised. Replacing the material periodically is a small price to pay for the protection they provide. I do monitor their adhesion to the devices I use them on from time to time, and they consistently perform well. The tablet, in particular, gets used pretty frequently (almost every day), so it is unreasonable to think that the SlipToGrip pads wouldn't eventually run into issues.I have also encountered scenarios where the gel material that these pads are made out of can absorb the finish off surfaces over long periods of time. When I removed pads like this before, I had to scrub and sand the wood surface to eliminate the sticky residue left. I also noticed the finish of the wood was completely gone and discolored. Cleaning the gel surface with glass/electronics cleaner seems to work well for maintenance, as I'm sure using water does as well. I usually just end up replacing the mats when they start to become less effective or dirty enough.Despite these minor drawbacks, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product or continue to buy them in the future. They have proven to be an invaluable addition to my home, devices, and toolkits. Similar to duct tape in their usefulness and utility, I'm thrilled with the results I have encountered and have no desire to look for an alternative product. I highly recommend this product.

Works awesomely for keeping my Morse code paddles from sliding all over the table. The stickiness of the pad holds tight.

I don't use a case so I feel like depending on the material of your phone or case your results may differ. It's kind of oily so stick it on a counter a few times to get the oils off of it. I hate other phone holders that block your windshield or require your phone to get really hot or cold being in an air vent which is now useless. This is perfect other than most dashboards don't have enough flat space to hold your phone. So you end up with only half of this touching your phone. Also it collects all of the dust so expect to need to clean it every time you clean the inside of your car as it will lose it's sticky if you don't. If you drive normal expect this to stick and hold your phone even at a 45 degree angle. I drive a 500 hp car and about 50% of the time if I accelerate hard it will let go and my phone will be in the back seat.Overall I would recommend it if you don't want a traditional phone holder and are tired of keeping your phone in your cup holder.

So it seems there are a lot of knockoffs products going out. Here are three ways to make sure yours is real.Purchase from the StepNGrip seller account. It was the default on the product page for me.When it arrives, to verify the product there are two indicators.1. The pattern on the pad is a crosshatch. This is not enough by itself. Some knockoffs also had cross hatches, judging by customer images.2. There is an imprint near the bottom of the pad that says either "StepNGrip" or "SlipToGrip." Those are both trademarks. If your pad has that imprinted logo it is the real product.Knockoffs will melt. The real thing, I've kept it in my car for 2-3 weeks now, where we've had several 90+ degree weather days. It has not melted.The review:First off make sure you have a good flat place in your car where you want to put this. If you have that it will undoubtedly keep your phone still and attached. The stickiness is impressive for it just being a pad.It also comes with two pads as well that are slightly different. One has 2 sharper corners and a full cross hatch patter. The other has all rounded corners and about 1/4th of it is flat and not a cross hatched patter. I don't know what the advantages are in the differences, but it is nice to have two. Despite there being 2 however, it only comes with one alcohol cleaning pad for cleaning the surface you put it on. Something to keep in mind.The instructions also state if the pad becomes less effective at holding things stuck to it over time that it can be cleaned following the instructions that come with it and it will be rejuvenated.I'm quite satisfied with this purchase, I only wish I had somewhere better in the car to put it.

Worked perfectly for a few months, was sticky enough and easy to clean. Withstood daily use until the summer months came along and it literally melted -_- we live in San Diego and park our car in the driveway so it was basically in direct sunlight all day, which I'm sure contributed. It's cheap enough that we can easily buy replacements and it came with 2 to begin with, but I do wish they posted some type of warning about either direct sunlight or intense heat causing it to melt. It didn't make a mess and came off of the car easily, but I didn't realize the problem until I had stuck my $800 phone right on it! What a mess to clean up, but it did come off. I wouldn't buy again if it wasn't for the fact that none of the stands currently available fit both my phone and my husband's, so I'll have to deal with the sticky until something more adjustable is on the market.

I purchased this pack of sticky pads to keep my phone from bouncing and moving around in the tray of my treadmill. They are working perfectly so far. The phone sticks to them and doesn’t bounce and there is zero residue on the phone when I’m done. I have not tried washing them yet because they are still clean and sticky.

didn't suit car dashboard

This would normally be used in the car on the dash board to hold phones, coins, keys, etc. I used them for a different purpose. I bought a mini Hi-Fi system with two bookshelf speakers. I bought a pair of speaker stands which were slightly too big for the speakers. These work great at gripping the speakers to the stands as well as isolating some of the vibration. There is a noticeable improvement in the clarity from the speakers and I could not be more pleased with the resulting sound. Maybe a bit unusual for some but nevertheless effective. I would go as far as to say even if speakers on a bookshelf it would be worth a try. If you don't notice any improvement you will always have them for the car!

These pads are good value and certainly stick well to most vinyl dashboard surfaces.I would say that they do the job of holding phone in place (iPhone 6) at speed and on bumpy roads.It is however important where the pads are placed , it needs a flat vertical or horizontal surface as if the surface is curved the amount of contact with the phone is obviously less and more likely to move. So make sure your dashboard has a suitable area to stick to . All in all a bargain price.

Works well, sticks to the dashboard well and keeps everything from my mobile to my work's vehicle pass, coins and everything i've tried so far from sliding uncontrollably around the dashboard, impressed so far on;y time will tell how long the stickiness lasts but i'm sure a quick wash of dirt will soon see it back to its original state.
