I'm considering these to keep my laptop more securely on a metal, tilted "desk" of sorts. Good idea?

Not good idea. These might hold temporarily but won't hold long. They do not work well at all. Do not recommend.

It seems to smooth on the non sticky side for that. I think the laptop would slide on it nearly as easily as on your laptop table. I agree with the other poster about getting adhesive backed rubber pads. Those work great for slippage.

It would probably stay in place but I wouldn't risk it. I would say the safest way to use this would be on a desk or on a stationary lap.

The surface has a bit of a rubbery texture to it and it does hold my laptop in place. Sliding should not be an issue.

I don't think so; they are smaller than I expected. I also would not trust one to keep a laptop dry.

Not likely. The portion outside the laptop has shoulder that keeps it away from the laptop.

My laptop is 17"and there's a bit of free space but more than that would be a very tight squeeze so I'd say probably not just to play it safe.

just turn the whole thing around, the tilt for the laptop side has about 180 degrees for choice of angle and the lip to keep it from sliding off is identical on both sides; hope this helps

Yes... These things are very sturdy and also have a lip on the bottom to help hold the laptop in case you have it panel tilted toward you...

Probably wouldn't balance very well on the lower legs, but it might slide in between them. I have a Toshiba 15.5" laptop that barely fits. But since it just sits there, I can live with it. Otherwise, it's a GREAT product. What you might do, is pick up a piece of plexi-glass, cut it to fit under there, and hot glue it in place. It's an ugly work-around, but it would most likely work. I'm just happy I was able to free up a ton of space on my desk, and raise the monitor up as well.

I think it's supposed to be to fasten loose cords to keep them up out of the way. I'm not sure though. I never used it for anything. The keyboard cover is nice though.

Interesting question. They are rather large at the top end, so unless your desk has large legs I'd say no.

I use for my laptop computer and also have some desk accessories. I love the desk. I think it might be ok.

It's never slipped off from my laptop, unless i intentinally shift it on my keyboard. Also cause i've pretty much use my laptop in my deskBut of course, if you flip your laptop upside down for whatever reason, duh its gonna fall off

Yes, though the clips are not very tall. The rubber on the arms also hold a laptop in place well.

If your laptop is heavy, it won't hold your laptop when the top panel is flat. It will tip over.

Not that tall. Think 3 laptop thickness stacked....unless you are short statured, I think too short. Desk height would be a factor as well.
