I love this measuring cup with the silicone bottome as it does not bang or slide on my granite counter.  Love the easy to read measurements on the inside.  It saves a lot of bending down to make sure of accurate measurements.  I also bought it in the two cup size.  I recommend it to everyone and no kitchen should be without these cups.  The cover is a bonus -- I have steamed veggies in the microwave and drained water out through cover.  Love the fact that the cup is glass as I get nervous microwaving in plastic. You won't be disapppointed with this purchase.  Amazon has FANTASTIC prices!!
