I've got one as it's great for swapping between my car and my wifes, and I've had too many of the "suction cup" devices fall off my windscreen.

I live in Texas where it is hot for a majority of the year and requires the use of a sunshade. I found that taking the suction cup on/off was becoming the bane of my existence whenever I needed to leave the car. This way, I can grab the electronics off the dash and go. I'm honestly surprised I haven't read more on the advantages of using a dash mat for this reason. I use something similar for a completely different reason: A sunshade.

Thanks for pointing out that Amazon is cheaper, my big beef has been how damn expensive a beanbag with a non-stick bottom is at retail!
