While you have probably went ahead and bought a wrist rest, I bought a Grifiti and Im loving it. It was pretty cheap comparatively to "higher quality" wrist rests but it works fantastically. I love how it's somewhat squishy so i can put my elbows into it with comfort while im reading a bunch of text.
I think ive only had mine for 2-3 weeks but i havent seen any peeling yet, though I cant shake the feeling that it will start soon
