Enter this anti-static mat. Don't get me wrong, I still clip myself to the power supply, but now I clip the mat, too. The coiled alligator clip extends to about 4 feet long before it starts to pull the mat with it, meaning that your ground doesn't have to be right next to you. This frees up table space if you're not weird like me about having your wrist clipped in, too.
The mat is a joy to work on. It's soft enough that cases and components sink in a bit and don't slide around, and it rolls back up into a surprisingly small package. I've been using it once a week or so since buying it, and the only way you'd be able to tell is the slight smear from when I had a disagreement with a tube of thermal paste that was sitting on it. It's very easy to clean and keep clean.
My only problem with the mat is that it doesn't roll out perfectly flat, but it does settle down when weight is placed on it.
There are plenty of flashier mats out there. There are $60 mats that have diagrams for various motherboard sizes and all that fun stuff, but at the end of the day, do you really need a motherboard size grid on your 24"x27.5" anti-static mat? You might, and there are certainly situations where even I could have saved a few seconds by having that instead of reaching for a tape measure, but most hobbyists don't really need that. I'd rather spend my money on the components, not the mat I build them on. This does what I expect it to, and it's cheap. No complaints.
Pro: Pretty good price for a decent product. I would buy this product again and I would also recommend it for a home hobbyist.
Con: It was shipped rolled up and is made from a rather stiff vinyl material so it presented a little trouble laying it out flat. However, it flattened out after it was weighted down on a flat surface for a while. Heating it a bit with a hair blow-dryer on a low setting helped speed up the flattening.

I have read the complaints from other reviewers and decided to share my views. This is not an expensive professional item. It is ~26 $ including shipping. For this price it is more than good enough. If you are working with ultra expensive and sensitive items then spend more money and get a professional item! My only complaint is the lack of good documentation. The solution for me was to pick up the phone and call StarTech.com. Their support is available until 11 pm EST. I phoned them around 8 pm last night. Right away a representative picked up the phone. He was obviously familiar with the product and answered all my questions.
I will write them here for other users
Directions:
1) The mat should be put black side down and white side up.
2) The wire with the alligator clip goes between mat and ground. This is a ground and not your wrist.
3) You should use a separate wrist band and ground yourself. You need one wrist band per person.
Another person complained it melts if touched by a soldering iron. All I say is the mat is made of rubber and of course it melts. Please be careful. I figure with normal use it will take a few years before it gets so many melted spots to need replacement. Then I will spend 26 $ more and get another one. Just like I replace my iron tips and other things which wear out. My overall advice is if you use this correctly and don't expect the impossible you will be happy with it.

Trattandosi di oggetto destinato a durare, per una recensione completa serve aspettare qualche anno....
In ogni caso a me pare un ottimo prodotto
PS: L'utilité de l'anti parasite reste à déterminer avec les cartes électronique d'aujourd'hui.
