Same old strategy... Overprice your items in order to maintain your premium reputation.... Hope that suckers come in droves and pay your set price..... have third party sellers drop the price when they aren't selling as you expected. rinse. repeat.

As ugly as it looks, I love mine. It extends the battery life a lot more than I would’ve guessed it would.

Yes, they are overpriced. But the fit and finish far outclasses the competition. Others are much bulkier, don't fit together right when you snap them shut. If you really need the battery case, this is probably your best option.
