Regardless of how they market it, still a great product because it's extremely affordable, lighter and less bulky than some of the alternatives. At 30 percent off it's a home run, especially for those who were going to buy it anyway. For my daily use I prefer a lightweight clear alternative so I can see what the phone looks like but it's a great back up case when I need something rugged.
