I purchased this item because of the price without reading reviews and realized that this great deal IS counterfeit. The packaging looks VERY different from the ones at the store. I use my Cameo at least 4 times a week for my business on Etsy, I promise you, this mat declines in its purpose very very quickly.

In my photo comparison of the packaging, the Bottom retail packaging is a different blue, looks faded, and smaller font. The mat above is from Joann's.

The mat worked fine for me after a couple hours of cutting.... after that, my cardstock and vinyls kept popping off and is now not sticking at all. I seriously opened it a couple hours ago WTF. What a waste!!!!

The adhesive of this mat is noticeably less sticky as the original mat from Joann's. The price LOOKS like a deal but it's not. I recommend buying mats from reputable sellers, Joann's, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Silhouette website. Not 'Silhouette America' on amazon.

Too expensive for how long they last.

I love my Silhouette Cameo machine, but I am not fond of the mats. It is very easy to have your setting wrong by accident and end up cutting through the mat. I have ruined many a mat like this. Also, they just charge to much money for the mats! I like the Cricut mats so much more. You can almost get 4 mats for the price of one silhouette mat and I think they last longer. They work with my silhouette cameo and they are far more durable. The Cricut mats seem more like cutting board quality (and I have never cut through them) where as the silhouette mats are flimsier. I will say I like that the silhouette mats are clear and the numbering of the grid on them is easier to see. To use your silhouette with a Cricut, I would just line up your old silhouette mat on top so you can see where to put the paper down to feed into the machine. (I line it up at the start of the shaded box for the top and about midway through the numbers on the left. And as other reviewer has mentioned, I highly recommend cleaning off with goo gone when the mat is no longer sticky to get remaining stickiness off and then resticking the mat with a spray adhesive like Krylon easy tack. I am sure the manufacturer does not recommend doing either of these things (restocking or using Cricut mats), and I am sure they would void warranties. That being said, I have been doing this for some time and have had no problems.

Not the quality of the original mat.

So very disappointed with this replacement mat. The mat sticks so strongly to the medium (vinyl, HTV, cardstock, contact paper, freezer paper) that it has literally pulled the adhesive off the mat and destroyed the design. The original mat that came with my Silhouette is still doing fine, just kind of beat up from lots of use. I'm getting ready to start a sizable project for church and that is why I wanted a replacement mat, so I could keep a cut going without down time. No where does it say that this is a second quality product or a rejected first quality, but it certainly appears that way and I m very frustrated about it. I have a new 12x24 mat ordered, it should be here today. I hope it does better. This purchase was definitely a waste of my money.

Poor reproduction and not worth what you pay!

Not the classic Silhouette mat like what comes with the machine!! It's a cheap alternative with a way too sticky adhesive initially, and then it doesn't hold worth anything once you try to de-sticky the mat like the classic ACTUAL Silhouette mats. I've been using my original Silhouette mat for several months and decided to replace mine with this one because of cost. They are totally different materials and adhesives even. The blue paper that "protects" the mats adhesive area should stick somewhat to keep things from sticking to it when not in use, but it slides right off this one. I wouldn't recommend this item to anyone!

Knowingly Selling Defective Products?
by Amazon Customer (1 out of 5 stars)
October 5, 2013

I have ordered over 200 of these mats since I began buying them on Amazon in 2013 for my small business. Until recently, I have never been disappointed in the 12x12 mats - they were always high quality and had a good life expectancy. However, for the last 6-7 months or so, EVERY SINGLE mat I have ordered on Amazon (30-35 total) has been defective. Additionally, 18 out of 21 mats I received directly from Silhouette were defective. The adhesive on the mats comes off after one use. It comes off on my projects. It rubs off using the scraper. It bubbles, it splits, it pulls, it is terrible. On a few occasions, all of the adhesive came off on the blue cover paper and none was left on the mat!

Every single mat that was defective had the same manufacture date - 11/08/16. The three mats I received directly from Silhouette that were not defective had different manufacture dates. Silhouette America is well aware of this is issue. They have said as much in correspondence to myself and other customers. So, my question is - why are they still selling these defective mats? Why am I still receiving mats via subscribe and save with this manufacture date? Why have they not pulled the 11/08/16 mats from Amazon? I would imagine that this is very possible - expensive for sure but doable and yet it is not happening. Has anyone also noticed that the price on these mats started dropping in Jan/Feb and were almost 50% off for two months straight? If you look at any website that tracks price history of Amazon products, this can be confirmed. These mats have never, ever been priced so low for such a sustained period of time - the historical stats also bear that out.

In my opinion - I think they are trying to get rid of as many of these crap mats as possible through this apparent fire sale here on Amazon. Because even if some of us return these defective products, there are some that can't or won't. That helps them offset what must be huge losses for this bad batch of product. There is no other reason I can think of why a company as large and capable as Silhouette America has not been able to get these defective mats off the shelves for over half a year and I, for one, find it infuriating. Take your losses Silhouette and stop trying to pawn these terrible defective mats off on your paying customers!

Seriously, made with super glue?!

This mat is awful! I've used a lot of these over the years and the last 2 I've purchased have been terrible. The first one I did what I always do and press it on a cushion to destick slightly. The mat was ruined, I could not get the vinyl off to save my life. I had to throw it in the garbage. I ordered another one, same thing happened. I've even left it out hoping for dust to settle or something! I cannot use it effectively. Also, the edges of the mat are rippling. The plastic is separating from itself. I've never had any of this happen with these mats. I understand it is probably not the sellers fault, but the product itself. However, this product is awful.

Order this and it arrived and looked fine. Did my first cut with cardstock (like I have always done with all my previous mats) and the sticky part peeled right off.

Defective mat - EXTREMELY disappointed.
by Ericka Renee (1 out of 5 stars)
March 24, 2017

I have purchased several mats from many different places (online and in store) for use within my small business. This mat I received is completely defective. The adhesive on the mat has peeled completely off in several spots after just a couple of uses, including where the silhouette roller touches the mat when it is loaded into the machine. I often order these cutting mats way in advance as I know I will always have a use for them. By the time I opened this specific mat and realized it was defective it was a few days past the return period. I am extremely disappointed.

I will definitely only purchase from Hobby Lobby from now on as they have good customer service UNLI

I have purchased these for years from Amazon and Hobby Lobby however this one from Amazon is AWFUL AND UNUSABLE!! I opened it yesterday to use and it has ripped to shreds every paper I have tried (I have tried 3 different heavy weight double sided papers from My Minds Eye and We R Memory Keepers) and is now going in the trash! The mat was packaged in a different manner which raised a red flag. It is beyond sticky - the papers rip when trying to remove them as do the cut designs even when using the Silhouette spatula tool to try and help remove. Amazon won't let me return it as they say I should have opened it before now. (I purchased it when I needed to fill in an order and opened it yesterday when my previous mat had been used up). I will definitely only purchase from Hobby Lobby from now on as they have good customer service UNLIKE AMAZON! I am assuming this sat in a hot warehouse too long.....

Recieved old non-sticky mat
by Stacie Shepherd (1 out of 5 stars)
July 11, 2018

I'm very disappointed with my recent cutting mat purchase. I have ordered silhouette cutting mats off Amazon many times in the past with no problems. They have been sticky enough for paper and fabric. However, I just bought one last month to specifically cut fabric on. I got it out to use for the first time today and it was nowhere near as sticky as they usually are. I placed the fabric on, and it appeared to stick, but once I tried cutting it, it bunched up due to the mat not being sticky enough to hold it in place while the blade is moving and cutting. I attempted several times, and it didn't stick any of the times. I looked at the packaging and it shows a date of 11/10/15. It appears I was mailed a 3-year-old cutting mat that has lost its stickiness. I'm now stuck with a mat that I'm incapable of using.
