8. The bumper protective device of claim 6 , wherein the single stabilizing block is uninterrupted by gaps and spans from one side portion to another side portion of the base layer.

9. The bumper protective device of claim 7 , wherein the thickness of the single stabilizing block protrudes at least about 8 millimeters above the base layer and has a width of at least about 25 millimeters.

10. The bumper protective device of claim 7 , wherein the thickness of the single stabilizing block protrudes at least about 8 millimeters above the base layer and has a width of at least about 35 millimeters.

11. A rear bumper protective device that is fitted atop and detachably attaches to a rear bumper of a vehicle, the rear bumper protective device comprising:

a base layer of flexible material that is substantially planar when vertically hanging, wherein the material has a top portion, a top edge, side portions, an inside face, an outside face, and a bottom portion, the base layer having a construction and thickness capable of reducing or preventing damage to the rear bumper of the vehicle, and being of sufficient dimensions to at least partially hang over the rear bumper of the vehicle when fitted atop the rear bumper of the vehicle, wherein the inside face faces the vehicle and the outside face faces away from the vehicle, wherein the inside face has a non-broken, substantially vertical planar surface at the intersection of the inside face to the top portion;

one or more securing means connected to the bumper protective device for detachably attaching to a rear portion of the vehicle; and

one or more stabilizing blocks, each having a top edge, on the outside face and protruding from the top portion of the base layer, the stabilizing blocks positioned such that the top edge of each stabilizing block lies on a common line with the top edge of the base layer, wherein the stabilizing blocks are integrally formed with the base layer.
