This would be great if you could source some darker colors closer to the dash color.

Great idea! +1 on a darker color. I've had the doors off for months so I try not to do anything to draw any additional attention.

The product went to market and has enjoyed a favorable response. You are right about the price point, and we have it at $15 + shipping, so I think its reasonable. The Dashboard Condom rolls up into a small 4" x 4" x approx. 3/4" package and can store in your glove box until needed. Check out Dashboard Condom | Patent Pending 61/844,496

How resilient is the latex rubber? It would seem that it would tear easily and then be useless. I will gladly be your test subject if you want to send me one !
The latex is military grade, but isn't intended to be an everyday solution. That said I recently asked a guy who uses a dashboard condom to wrap his CB and it is holding up well. It has a decent thickness to it and should last a while. I had originally thought of doing them with a much thinner latex and selling them in 3 or 12 packs...more disposable, but this thicker military grade latex is pretty tough. Order one and check it out. I would love your feedback/opinions!

I have had several requests for darker colors and am trying to source the material. Its a numbers game, so the product will evolve based on this kind of feedback. Thanks for the input!
