GreatGadgets 1889-1 coaster, 1.44 MB floppy disk, 4x black

Had these for around a year now, and they're just brilliant. They're exactly the same as an old 3.5" HD floppy disk, down to every bump, grove, and hole. The only difference is that these floppy disks are actually floppy, not hard like real 3.5" floppy disks. There's a certain irony there!They have a slight rubbery feel to them, as you would expect silicone to. This means they stay in place, even on glass tables, and your drink will stay in place on the coaster too.Being silicone, it's heat resistant and can be used as a heat resistant mat for items with small bases that come out of the oven. It's also dishwashable, and hard wearing. Even after a year of serious use, these are as good as new.Objects left within reach of a baby or toddler (this includes coasters on your coffee table), will almost always end up being chewed. These make brilliant teethers, as they're safe, non-toxic, dishwashable (or even steam steriliser them if you want), and won't break or have bits fall off.PLEASE NOTE: That nowhere does the manufacturer claim that you can use these as heat resistant mats, or that they're safe to use as a teether, I'm just saying that given they're made from silicone they almost certainly are, and they have worked well for us in those roles.

Bought these as a gift for my software engineer Dad. He loved the fact that they are actually floppy! And the material they are made of makes them easy to clean

These are awesome!As coasters they're practical, very easy to clean, non slip and heat resistant.As floppy coasters they're the best I've found. The size is accurate and they're printed on both sides. If I had to pick fault I'd say it's a shame they're not coloured on the edge too, where the metal cover wraps around the top, but that's really a minor niggle and not worth dropping a star for.This is a brilliant product which looks awesome on my desk alongside more contemporary tech.An excellent gift for the geek in your life :)

Good, well made product. Looks like the real thing.The writing on the coaster was unnecessary.

Brilliant novelty coasters brought to use in living room as didn't want plain boring coasters, made from rubber and dish washer safe, would recommend and but again.

Product looks to be decent quality and is as advertised, but I cannot vouch for its effectiveness as I bought this as a gift and left the item in its original packaging.Arrived promptly, but the clear plastic packaging was a bit scuffed and scratched making the item appear old or even second-hand. For a new product and gift, I would hope for slightly better care during storage. If your buying for yourself- the packaging is irrelevant. This just looked a bit shoddy!

These are great lookin and quality items. They look so real but are well made and perfect for my desk.

I was surprised that when turned over it even had the back in detail! The circular part on the back has groves etched into it. It has a soft floppy feel to it as well that you can play about with when bored (I took mine to work). Can't rate it enough.
