Well, well, well. I woke up this morning and upon entering the bathroom, made the awful discovery that I had left my brand-new T3 straightening iron on ALL NIGHT. However, thanks to the special pouch that doubles as a heat-resistant resting place for the iron while it's hot, no damage was done. The iron was still in good shape and I was pleased to see that it had not burnt a hole through (or melted) the top of my vanity!

I would have been quite upset had my T3 died so soon after I purchased it (to learn why, see I Heart Tourmalines, Part 1).

The heat-resistant pad comes with the T3 and as we now know, IT WORKS. Yet another reason to love the T3.
