Sticky non-adhesive plastic material?

What's the name of the plastic material you often get on new screens (on phones, tv's etc.) which sticks to smooth surfaces but isn't actually sticky in the sense it doesn't use an adhesive (its more like a geko foot or something). And also can you buy it in sheets?Sticky non-adhesive plastic material?
Pressure sensitive adhesives:


Removable adhesives are designed to form a temporary bond, and ideally can be removed after months or years without leaving residue on the adherend. Removable adhesives are used in applications such as surface protection films, masking tapes, bookmark and note papers, price marking labels, promotional graphics materials, and for skin contact (wound care dressings, EKG electrodes, athletic tape, analgesic and transdermal drug patches, etc.). Some removable adhesives are designed to repeatedly stick and unstick. They have low adhesion and generally can not support much weight.
