Buy it if: Anyone carrying a laptop inside a backpack who wants genuine corner protection.
Avoid it if: Anyone wanting a standalone carrying case -- there is no strap or handle.

Buy it if: Anyone mounting to a windscreen, which holds far better than a hot dashboard.
Avoid it if: Anyone relying on dashboard adhesion in summer -- it will drop the phone.
