It's difficult to fathom how Apple justifies what it charges for this silicone case. However, after trying two bargain cases, I decided to bite the bullet and shell out the money for this and a Smart Cover. If you can afford it, then they are worth it. As I stated in my Smart Cover review, the additional magnets that create firm adhesion to the back when folded open make the Smart Cover more than worth it. If you have the Smart Cover, then you really need the silicone case to protect the back. The silicone case has a very nice grippy and solid feel to it. In my opinion, the grip factor makes it an improvement over the leather case. Both the case and Smart Cover have a higher quality feel than bargain vinyl smart cases. Only you can decide for yourself if these factors make them worth the premium price tag. Quick tip, if the case or cover pick up dirt or marks, if you use a damp rag and a tiny bit of soft scrub they clean-up nicely.
