Fly Simple Tubes - awesome idea, stupid price

These tubes have been in development for forever, and they are finally here. Seems like a great idea, and it is, but for 15$ a pop, thats like 7 patchkits or 4 brand new tubes. You could get a bikeshop to fix the flat and you have enough left over for a cheap pint or a falafel sandwich.
I could see how this would be nice for people without tools, or if you get a vicious pinchflat/snakebite or something and you dont want to patch two holes or take off the wheel. Or maybe you have a brake and you're lazy and you dont want to line all that shit up. But then I guess you would patch. I mean, it takes 5 minutes to patch, works 100% and its more or less free, since 10 patches are like 2$. I will most definitely buy one or two of these, just to check them out, to see if they work and how well - but will they become a norm for me? Doubt it, unless they become half the price. What yall think?
