Questions about ScanPad’s suitability as an office device aside, there’s no denying that the device’s microsuction surface is genuinely impressive. Smartphones, pieces of paper and other objects all stick to it instantly and securely, and while they absolutely won’t slide around, lifting them off is effortless. There’s no hint of sticky residue to be found, either. The patent-pending nanotechnology consists of thousands of tiny suckers that work in concert to stabilise and grip anything that’s placed on them. The main surface is great for smoothing out wrinkled or folded documents for scanning, and while it’s difficult to say just how well it will hold up over months and years of use, we noticed no problems with grip degradation during our time with the device.
Overall, ScanPad is an admirable effort…
