The raised veins give it a much more interesting feel than the smooth ones I've tried, and the clear material makes cleanup easy since you can see everything. The suction cup really does stay put on tile, which surprised me. Honestly worth it.
The suction cup actually holds well on a tiled wall, which I didn't expect at this price. The clear material looks nicer than I thought it would, though it does show every smudge so I rinse it before and after each use.
