Pretty impressive for a mousepad at any rate. As you can see, Corepad has put a nice logo right on the pad for all to see.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/corepad/5big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/corepad/5.jpg" alt="Corepad Magna Blue" title="Corepad Magna Blue" border="0" width="250" height="176"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>The bulk of the pattern atop the pad is made of a lot of little holes called "fencing". Fencing is branded right into the glass, and Corepad promises it is a very hard wearing surface. So hard wearing in fact, they give you a three year wear of guarantee. Pretty impressive! <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/corepad/6big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/corepad/6.jpg" alt="Corepad Magna Blue" title="Corepad Magna Blue" border="0" width="250" height="250"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> <p>The mousepad would slide around your desktop if there wasn't something stopping it. This is where the nonskid pad comes into play. This pad is the same size as the mousepad, and provides a nice sticky surface for the safetyglass to rest. I had no problems at all with the mousepad sliding around. <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/corepad/7big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/corepad/7.jpg" alt="Corepad Magna Blue" title="Corepad Magna Blue" border="0" width="250" height="210"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> <div align="left"> <p> There isn't much to say about installing skatez. Just cut to fit your mouse feet, and stick them on. Pretty simple. These are touted to provide another layer of "slideability" to the effectiveness of the mousepad, and are simply made from teflon tape.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/corepad/8big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/corepad/8.jpg" alt="Corepad Magna Blue" title="Corepad Magna Blue" border="0" width="247" height="148"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><br> <b>Parting Shot</b>:</p> <p> I had absolutely zero hangups or skips while using the pad. The backing worked excellent on my keyboard tray and everything stayed put quite nicely. Noticeably, there were no jitters from my mouse, which was surprising considering the glass construction.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/corepad/9big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/corepad/9.jpg" alt="Corepad Magna Blue" title="Corepad Magna Blue" border="0" width="250" height="208"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><b>Conclusion</b>:</p> <p> I liked the size and weight of this pad. Styling wasn't bad, and the skatez add a little value to the price. Whether you're a mousing or PhotoShop junkie, or even a casual user that's at your desk a lot, this mousepad just may be "the one" for you. It's nice and smooth, plus provides very good tracking. Though it may seem a bit pricey at first, the three year guarantee is just icing on the cake. <br> <br> <b>Pros:</b> </p> <ul> <li>Excellent Quality</li> <li>Very Nice Mousing Surface</li> <li>Complete Compatibility</li> <li>Performance You Can Feel</li> <li>Easy Installation</li> <li>Excellent Packaging</li> </ul> <b>Cons:</b> <ul> <li>NONE!</li> </ul> <p><b>Rating:</b></p> <table width="227" border="0"> <tr> <td width="105">Overall:</td> <td width="183">Excellent</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Performance:</td> <td>Excellent</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Installation: </td> <td>Excellent</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Price: </td> <td>Very Good</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Packaging:</td> <td>Excellent</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Compatibility: </td> <td>Excellent</td> </tr> </table> <p>(Ratings Possible: Terrible, Very Bad, Bad, Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent)</p> </div> <div align="left"> <p><a href="atruereview/corepad/index.php"></a> <a href="corepad/index.php">Previous (Introduction & Features)</a></p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="footer" class="clr"> <div class="rk-1"> <div class="rk-2"> <div id="the-footer">  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
