Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. life good Brand name aside, this work mat is oversized and very durable. I love all of its nooks and crannies and device holders. I've bought several different brands and while they have different layouts, they're all about the same. I like this one because I'm right handed and the screw holder grid is right where I need it. Also, the shade of blue is a little less nauseous than the others. The three covered areas remain closed but appear to be under some sort of fortification that opens them. I usually leave them open. I'm not going to roll this thing up and travel with it carrying small parts in these bags. If they pop up while on the phone or scaring a cat, I'll probably just delete them. I shopped by price and this rug has everything I need for a bargain.
