Looking through UICollectionView tutorials, I see some where UICollectionViewCell is subclassed for items, and some where UICollectionReusableView is subclassed instead. The docs don't make it very clear when you would use one over the other.
What is the difference between UICollectionViewCell and UICollectionReusableView?

Actually, Apple recommends that you use UICollectionViewCell both for cells and for supplementary views. That way, you get the useful features such as the background view. UICollectionReusableView is merely what makes these views reusable. So there is no important distinction except for the built-in superclass–subclass relationship.
