The Incredibly Sticky Grippy Pad

 

Have you ever seen a Gecko scale the side of a wall? They seem to have these sticky feet that can grab onto just about any surface. Here’s a simple gadget that works kind of like the Gecko’s sticky feet called the Grippy Pad.

The Grippy Pad is made with an advanced silicone material that can grip just about anything. This amazing material performs its sticky magic without magnets, velcro or messy adhesives. So when you’re done using the Grippy Pad to afix something in place, there’s no sticky or gummy glues or adhesive residue left behind. It’s really amazing actually!

While the Grippy Pad can grab hold all kinds of different objects and affix them to a surface, the most popular usage is to temporarily attach your iPhone, Smartphone or GPS navigator to the dashboard or other suitable surface in your car. Simply stick the Grippy Pad on your car’s dashboard and then place your device that you want to attach on top of the Grippy Pad and they’ll be held securely in place. And when you’re ready to detach your device, just pull it off the Grippy Pad with ease and you’re ready to go. No sticky or gummy residue ever left behind. Very smart!

The Grippy Pad is available in four different colours; Grey, Black, Clear and Red.  The Grippy Pad is impervious to water, high temperatures and sunlight and it will work virtually anywhere. The pad never needs replenishing of any kind, and when the stickiness begins to fade, simply wipe the Grippy Pad with a damp cloth and the sticky grabbing power is good as new.

Grippy Pad Product Features:

• Anti-slip pad for iPhones, iPads, Smartphones, GPS navigators, and all sorts of other gadgets.
• Works great on a horizontal as well as a vertical surface.
• Resistant to water, high temperatures and sunlight.
• Simple and convenient to clean, just wipe with a damp cloth.
• Made of an advanced high quality and durable silicone material.

As technology advances, some of the most useful innovations to come along are actually really simple. Maybe a little bit of magic, but simple nonetheless. How many times have you tried to find an easy way to prop up your iPhone or Smartphone against the dashboard of your car? Now the problem is solved. You’ll be amazed at just how well the Grippy Pad works, and it’s really inexpensive too!
