Great overall solution for laptop "quirks"!
My independent laptop cooling fan seized up recently, and rather than purchase another one, I thought I'd try these bumpers as an alternate solution for improved airflow, alternate slanted positioning of the keyboard, and vibration/shock absorption.I installed two of the adhesive backed bumpers to the underside of my laptop, at the back corners, taking care not to block access to the battery compartment nor any area that may facilitate future repair. I found the added height was exactly what I was looking for; providing slight elevation at the back of the laptop, somewhat similar to the back folding feet of a regular computer keyboard, offering a more pleasing and comfortable position for hands and wrists. The bumpers also added some cushion and "give", making typing seem less fatiguing. And, my ultimate goal; the airspace provided by elevating the rear of the computer is enough to reduce or alleviate the "heat problem" associated with laptops placed on flat surfaces. An added bonus is that with the bumpers attached to the laptop, transporting it is a lot less cumbersome since I no longer have to tote around a separate slant board, fan or cooling device.Of note: the bumpers are a tad bit "sticky" when first installed (rounded bottoms are slightly "tacky" and may temporarily stick to your table surface), but with one month of continued use, I have found this is no longer an issue. (The manufacturer recommends placing something underneath the bumpers, to protect your desk surface.)All in all, a great solution for some of the "quirks" associated with laptops. Now, what to do with the two remaining 2" bumpers from the package... perhaps I'll reserve them for replacement on my laptop in the event the need arises, or ... maybe install them (and a few of the smaller SORBOTHANE BUMPERS) to my printer to see if they can alleviate some of the noise and jerky vibration associated with that device.

Very impressive
Was surprised at how well it dampened vibrations. Even at inane, loud volumes with louds of bass from a speaker less than a foot away on the same surface I felt very little vibration on the plinth of the turntable that sits on these feet

Mostly fixed turntable skipping
I set my turntable up on a large credenza sitting on a wooden floor. The house is old, and unfortunately the floors under the credenza are a little bouncy. That meant even the lightest step in the area of the turntable would cause the record to skip. I did a lot of research on these and other tricks to avoid skipping and frankly was skeptical these would work. A lot of what I read said I would almost certainly need to move the turntable somewhere else or try mounting it directly on the wall. Neither was a good option for me.But, I put four of these under my turntable feet (an Audio Technica 120LP), and it actually worked! They did not eliminate skipping caused by walking very heavily near the turntable, but now I can at least walk normally near and around the turntable while listening to music. The one negative is these things are a sticky, and I read complaints elsewhere about staining furniture over time. I ended up sticking clear rubber bumpers (like the kind you see on the inside of a cabinet door) in between the sorbos and the credenza to protect the finish.

Not the best for computer case feet
Now I know I am likely using this product outside it's intended use but for the purpose I have these did not work as I had hoped.My goal was to replace the leg system on a Bit Fenix prodigy case with something more stable. When these arrived the first thing I noticed was they are a lot softer than I expected, there is a lot of give in these. The result was that while the case now longer sways side to side, it does still shift some to the side when putting in USB devices using the front access. The system is more stable but still has a mushy feel to it as well.Another issue I found is that the material these are made out of is very tacky. This is good in the fact that the case does not slide anywhere. However it is bad in the fact that trying to pick up the case you have to overcome a stick down effect. When I pick my case up from my desk, which has a glass top, the top tries to come with it.These get the job done but for the money I would spend an extra $10 and get proper case feet.

It was bad; anyone walking by or even moving on the ...
I live in an old house with creaky hardwood floors. Due to space constraints, my turntable sits on a CD player that sits on large vintage floor speaker. I've spent the last year trying to DIY a solution for vibration and needle skips. Nothing worked. It was bad; anyone walking by or even moving on the couch would skip a record. To add to complication, I have a 3 year old that loves to run/jump/dance whenever any music is on. I bought these rubber feet in desperation and with little confidence they would work. Whoa. These are amazing! They resolved 100% the issues. I can play a record with no skips - with people walking around, dancing, even light jumping. What can I say? These brought my record collection back to life.
