I got a blank one but decided not to use it. It works as advertised for bottles and small cups, but I should've measured the cups we most frequently take with us. I'm not returning it since it's my fault for not checking dimensions. Let me know if you want to buy this one cheap! I never peeled the tape off the velcro and I've still got the original packaging. We're OTP on the west side so I can ship it or meet you.

Hi you may not have it centered as if you look inside when closing the lid, part of the lid is part of the cup circle opening on both sides and if its touching the stop flop it will not let it close. It must be centered. This as a big design issue that i finally over came.

I can appreciate that someone thinks the product was not worth what they paid. However, when you invest your money in an invention you need to price based on your investment. Anyone who has ever developed an invention knows that manufactures don't give it to you for free and you normally would have invested around 15k with a hope and prayer that it is successful enough to minimal cover your initial investment.
So, at $20 you would need to sell 750 cupholders to just break even. The ultimate goal is to sell enough and create enough demand and volume so that you can leverage volume and get your production cost down which also drives the price down.
I originally thought that they were pricey and said it in my original comments but I thought it was worthy enough a product that solved a problem and looked OEM and kept a clean look of the interior. I also wanted to support the vendor as I try to do with all entrepreneurs whenever possible and also the product is something that I can use and its affordable to me.
I am absolutely satisfied with the product and as with anything and/or any product, you take the good and bad feedback and always look for continuous improvement.
The owner is a stand up guy and values respectful feedback and should be contacted directly when there is a concern via PM or through ebay direct as there is a communication tool to talk with the seller.
I received my cupholder this afternoon and it looks great and as described and more importantly it's functional and provides options to drive with a beverage.
I like to be objective and transparent in evaluating anything with pros and cons and in this case it's mostly pros. I mention this only because I know there will always be someone who says its doesn't work because their favorite coffee cup, mug or any beverage bottle might be to wide or to thin to fit properly.
Just remember, cups comes in all shapes and sizes and one device can't possibly fit every iteration of cups. That said, I am sure EVERYONE can find cups that will work perfectly and with that in mind will be satisfied.
My review with my favorite cups in which I knew they likely wouldn't work just because of the shape of them are two wide at the body. It didn't bother me as I assumed that from the start.
I then went into the kitchen and grabbed a wide selection of cups out the cabinets to find what works and what doesn't so that I will know what my car beverage cup will be and I had plenty of options that worked just fine.

itch808,
I would imagine with you being overly very dissatisfied as you are with the product because it doesn't fit a lot of your drinks, surely would be plenty sufficient reason enough that the seller StopFlop would happily give you a full refund, including the couple dollars to ship his product back to him, given it doesn't work for you as advertised fitting your needs.
