Well, after just about a year our beloved Frog Pod fell off the tub wall. Fortunately it happened in the middle of the night and no children or toys were harmed. I checked the local home stores for replacement adhesive strips, but couldn’t find the same 3M VHB adhesive strips. A quick e-mail to Boon Inc and I learned that replacement strips for the bracket are only $2.99 at their online store. I also found out that the Frog Pods are currently shipping with two brackets: the original adhesive/screw bracket and new suction cup bracket.
We’ve never had any luck with suction cups on our shower, but I tried the new bracket just in case. Sure enough, it fell off as soon as we attached the Frog Pod. However, I bet the eight suction cups on it would hold fine on tile as long as you avoid the grout.
So we’re back to the original 3M adhesive strips. Sure we could always mount the bracket with screws, but I’m not a fan of drilling holes through our tub. Besides, $3 a year is a small price to pay for having a large plastic frog on the wall.
Stay tuned for reviews of more Boon products in the near future!
