yes, very much. before them I had the silicone one that verizon had, and it was much more floppy with a stickier texture.
these are much more rigid and dont pull away from the sides at all. The surface is grippy, enough that it wont easily slip out of your hand, but it's smooth/slick enough not to pull your pocket inside out or collect a bunch of lint. My one minor complaint is that it doesnt cover the power button, so you have to reach into a little hole to get to the button, I would have prefferred a cover for it, like the volume rocker has. I have gotten used to it, and it would be almost impossible for the power button to be hit accidentally.
so definitely recommend it!
