Get one of these jiggers....
Just delivered today, a Zeta Products Centre Console Pad. Just fitted it.....and it's ace. Took 30 seconds to fit. Looks factory. Feels comfy as all buggery. Get one before the group buy deal runs out on August 31 US time...ie, tomorrow!!.
Cost was under $50 AUD delivered to my door. ($25 USD plus $12 USD USPS airmail). Took four days to get here. Don't say you weren't told.........
Cheers,
Gomez.

a pad on the console sounds good, but the sliding mechanism and button break if you even look at them the wrong way 
I'd be worried leaning on it would cause more problems

Hey Kev --- is this your 2005 post? :D
I, too, find that hatch too fragile to contemplate doing anything that might encourage me to put any further weight on it

Have to agree with xxup... my console cover is rarely closed... in goes my phone, wallet and other accoutrements (as in Daffy Duck's "Slight pause while I adjust my accoutrements").
As a cupholder... well... drinks rarely go in there because 600ml cartons don't fit and water bottles are too high and get in the way of gear changes
P.S. And there I was thinking rapidus octus was on the endangered list and one pops out of the bush for a quick "hello"... nice to see it still thriving. If I rattle the bush I wonder if a Dezus blueus eightus ownerous might jump out too.

. It is a great effort of a comeback. Welcome!Yes do have no idea what I have in the front console,... I still love a cup of coffee that stays warm after an hour.

The cupholders are bloody useless! 
Even if they didn't turn the iciest drink warm inside five minutes, they're not adjustable so drinks slosh around and you foul them with your elbow when changing gears.
I'm considering trying to remove the 'cup shaping' and lining the bottom so I can throw stuff in there like mobile, etc without worrying about it cooking to a turn.
At the moment the only thing I use the bin for is my wallet and housekeys.
As for the arm rest padding, I'm with some of the other guys. Just opening it makes me wince, it's so cheap and nasty. There's no way I'm gonna lean on it too.
My vote is we ALL break the slide and make warranty claims (preferably at the same time ) - Mazda might then realise that this part of the car is ****.
