I have been using it for 4 months now, and so far it has left me very satisfied. The color remains intact, even though I use it for many hours throughout the day, and it has not torn or shown any other related wear. Personally, it gives me a sense of a "sturdier" grip, and most importantly: your hand does not sweat. It is easy to put on/take off if you want to clean the controller. I would buy it again.
