The only justification I can think of for this thing would be Winter. (i.e., people wearing gloves and unable/unwilling to easily touch their iPhone directly.)
Even still, this seems like a lot of bulk added to a snazzy iPhone for little reason.
Actually, there ARE a use-case for this that I can think of: people who grow out their nails or get them done (chiefly females and finger-style guitar players), people with prosthetics, and those who have poor dexterity due to some medical condition. Then there's people who are obsessive/compulsive about fingerprints. . .Anything that extends the [market's] reach of the iPhone might be considered reasonable accessory by some, even though it isn't for everyone.
