Now this is really a sticky pad for your dashboard!


It’s easy to see why the Impact Gel Grab Pad is billed as the “world's stickiest grab pad.” We took it out on my boat in the Hudson River and installed it in a vertical position. Then we stuck a smart phone on it and went bouncing over the waves. Surprise, the phone didn't fall off. At first we put it smooth glass side down because the back of the phone wasn't flat. But that worked so good, we did it again with the uneven back of the phone on the Grab Pad and again, it didn't fall off. My guess is the company doesn't expect anyone to use it like that, but it was a rugged test. The company also says it works in extreme conditions and if it gets dirty, it washes clean with soap and water. This would be great for many handheld devices you probably lay on your dashboard, like phones and cameras and portable units, GPS devices, even small tablets. Impact Gel also says it’s environmentally- friendly and non-toxic; made from soybean oil. When taking the phone off the Grab Pad, there was no hit on any oil, or residue. The military-grade gel absorbs shock and the company makes phone cases using the same material. It's available in several colors, and should be at stores like Bed, Bath & Beyond for $7.99. Depending on what they charge for shipping, a better deal might be at the company website where on 6/17/2014 it was selling for $5.99 + shipping.
