Unfortunately, after a few months, my ‘Pad began to curl up on its edges (maybe it’s the heat here in the South?) and lose its adhesiveness. This sure beats the nasty suction cups and Velcro pads I used to use to keep my radar detector at bay! The Sticky Pad leaves no residue on the car’s dash, doesn’t leave any “gunk” on your devices, and can be rolled up and washed ad infinitum. Out of the box performance was excellent and I immediately bought several more for friends, family, and coworkers as gifts (yes, I’m cheap). ![]() Read on for the pros and the cons of my second most indispensable travel accessory (Palm travel charger being the most important!)Ĭlad in black, this was my introduction to the wonderful world of StickyPads. I’ve now evaluated all of Handstands’ offerings, currently encompassing four different sizes of pads. Over the past few years HandStands has released several evolutionary updates to the original design and I’ve loyally purchased the latest style each time. I was initially attracted to the name (it conjured up suggestions of Handspring) and the price was right so I bought a black StickyPad on a whim. One day about three years ago while I making a very innocent trip to a local auto parts store I noticed a nifty counter display promoting Handstands’ sticky pad. When I travel and use a rental car I generally bring along my GPS receiver, a cordless radar detector and the omnipresent cell phone/Treo. In the past I just would use my car’s cup holder as the general hold-all for all loose items, electronics included. But it’s not high enough to want to ruin my dashboard with a permanently installed cradle or a messy but flimsy adhesive-backed mount. ![]() Ok, I’ll admit-my geek quotient is high enough that I’d want to travel with something like Palm’s fantastic GPS Navigator kit. ![]()
