For my purposes, this dish drying may works well. Theyre a little less horribly painful then when I initially put them on, but they are just not made correctly. The suction and adhesiveness was not strong to hold a heavy phone on the dash board or windshield alone. While installing on our book case, the first screw broke off at the top of the shaft, requiring me to go to the hardware store, get another screw, and start over. It also comes with 2 cables! The material I found to be very slippery and not comfortable at all. It is not a hard plastic rather soft plastic with an air cushion feel. I decided this time Id buy the lower, slightly cheaper model, and use them for light dog walking duties on mostly dry, none muddy days. Also, when pedaling, my 170mm crank-arm, hits the kickstand now. My friends and I, and yes, our husbands, too were impressed.
