This thing is awesome.

It's a bit of plastic that's highly adhesive on both sides that you can use to hold stuff in position on your dashboard. There's no glue so there's no sticky residue; you literally just put something on it and it stays there (and I mean it really stays there; it's amazing).

I stuck it to a near-vertical bit of my dash just behind the steering wheel and it holds my phone there perfectly. I can use the touch screen, plug the aux cable in etc. without it falling off. And it's perfect because I can actually use my phone without looking down. And I can finally use Google Maps properly.

It cost me R80 at Playground in Cresta but I'm sure you could get it cheaper.

Anybody else have one of these?
 
I have one of these, very gimmicky but an interesting thing to have. It really sticks, you can get stuff to stick upside down even...
 
Where are these sold?

Playground in Cresta, just opposite the HP shop. Cost me R80.

Does it get dirty & lose its adhesiveness?

It gets dirty but if you wash it with soap it's good as new. Another interesting problem they mention on the packaging is, if you leave it in one place on your dash forever then that place will be a different shade than the rest of your dash. Luckily, Honda in all their wisdom left about 5 bits of appropriate space near the steering wheel, so I'm sorted.
