I have a smaller one and put the clear InvisiGrip stuff on the back. I love it! As with other rulers, it's a good idea to have a couple of fingers on the table, and the others on the ruler as you cut to help reduce slippage. It's not as durable as the heavier rulers are but if you have a lot of strips to cut, it's great. I find that I am more accurate using it. If you can get a decent sale price and expect to use it alot, it's worth it!
