My mouse mat is at least a year old and has no signs of wear.
Iirc laser mice don't work well with glass?

Why would you use Laser mice in the first place? 
Only optical for me, especially when I'm a low sense person. 800dpi is the maximum dpi I can use, anything above that is unusable...
Found this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hama-Xavax-Glass-Chopping-Board/dp/B0016LYQ9I/
Surely chopping board isn't that different to a mousepad? I hope it'll have a smooth surface...

Ive had a razer exactmat X control for probably about 5 years now, metal with two slightly different textures on either side. Wouldnt change it for anything as Im pretty sure it forms part of my muscle memory now when it comes to gaming
I still have this mousepad somewhere with rest of my parts, its not that good compared to SS Qck. Too much control and the surface is not evenly smooth through out the surface area... Steelseries are generally really bad, but mousepads are probably one of the better ones.
Ice Mat 2nd edition. Those were the days. Still have two. Grey and Black.

Did glass mousepads just disappeared from the market? I can't seem to find anything, why would the manufactures stop producing them? Because they didn't wear out as quickly as cloth and plastic in comparison? less profit?
People probably stopped buying them when the desk cloths came out which are just as good for accuracy. I guess the real killer for the glass ones was that they could be ridiculously loud - at least my Performance MX is on my Icymat is (don't know why I've still got it to be honest).
My cloth at work (can't remember what it is now) doesn't show any wear of any sort other than the left-front corner peeling slightly (it's one of the earlier ones where the cloth must be glued to the foam) and at home I've got a Silverstone RVP01 with stitched edges - it's less 'clothy', and has less resistance than my softer work one.
