Is the back side/design a rubberized material? I use mine for GPS frequently, and I can't have the phone slipping out of my hand. Thanks.

No, the backside is a hard plastic. The outside border is rubber though. Also, it's a pretty thick case. If you prefer a slim case I wouldn't get this one. It does protect it well when you drop it though.

The back is not rubberized but it has a good grip I have not dropped mine yet the sides have the iPhone case seem to give it a good grip

No, it's shiny plastic (same with the sides). Probably doesn't have the grip you need.

No, it's plastic, but I've dropped it and nothing happened. Not even a scratch. The phone fits in tightly.

Dropped my phone many times and the case has protected it. BTW - due to the case's very tight fit, I had to cut away the material at the bottom in order for the charger cord to fit properly. Many years ago I purchased a case from Ballistic for my iPhone 4S which I use for work now. It is a much higher quality case - no modifications needed with extra protection on sides, front, & edges than this one. However, it was several years ago at a time when there were very few options. I enjoy the design very much and was willing to try it. No regrets! Hope this helps your decision-making.

No it is hard like the backside. I have had no problem with my phone slipping but understand your concern. Hope this helps.

Not at all, it's an aluminum bumper, not rubber. As with any other bumper (and most cases), depending on the use you may see dirt where the front/back of the phone meets the bumper.

Not rubberized! It's like a hard plastic shell. The outer edges of the phone do have a slightly rubberized coating....But seems to go in and out of pockets easily- unlike the soft rubber cases

The back is plastic, the sides are rubber. The rubber bumpers on the right and left sides have little bumps so you can keep a good grip on it. Great case! I've dropped my phone a few times and it did it's job!

I believe the case is plastic but it does feel rubbery. I happened to drop my phone the other day and it had somewhat of a small bounce and it hardly made any noise. Overall the protector snuggles to the phone and it does not slip of your hand like the hard plastics. I hope this helps.

I would say it is slippery not as slippery as it is without it but it is designed to protect the phone should it fall. Very hard rubber ends.

I'd say it's somewhere between a slippery case and a rubberized case. There is some friction, so it's not totally slippery, but not as "sticky" as a rubber case.

Hello! I have never had issue with the phone slipping and falling for that reason. While it certainly will not hold on a severe incline or if knocked with force, there are no issues in normal activity or useage. Thanks.

The back of the cover is smooth, but the edges have a rubbery texture. I find it much easier to hold on to than it was without the cover.

The corners are rubberized but they don't meet the table, the backing is plastic had a pattern but its smooth to the touch. However the phone is heavy enough that when its placed on a table (tried it on a glass top before answering) it stayed in one place when typing on it and it did not move..

The case is rubberized but I wouldn't really call it non-sliding. It's not the kind of case where you can just lay the phone down on your dash board and it won't go anywhere. It does have a little bit of a stick factor to it but not what you might be hoping for. So far I am very pleased with the product. Buyers should know that it will pretty much double the weight and thickness of your phone. For me, I'm fine with that since I'm all about function. This extended battery gets me through the day even on heavy use days where I listen to music, stream some Netflix, and use the GPS to navigate around. Awesome battery!

As Dokata says, there is rubber around the perimeter. It doesn't slip out of my hands, but if you lay the phone face up, it's like an air hockey puck. Lay it face down and it will stick to slanted surfaces. I assume they are trying to balance ease of sliding it into a pocket with "grippability."

Yes...the edges on the top and bottom are black and made of a hard rubber material. My phone has never slipped of an edge. This case is awesome.

Yes the black parts are grippy rubbery....I had the same issue with my phone, it was like a bar of soap! I can't recommend this case more, I love it

its not really rubberized, it more of a hard plastic. I've not experienced any issues with it sliding off of anything.

It's a very hard rubber. So it's a little of both....not hard like plastic, but hard like tire rubber. Very sturdy, yet flexible enough to get your phone in and out!

The one I have is a rubbery type plastic, but it is not sticky or tacky. I slide it into and out of coat pockets all the time. And also carry it in a small backpack also. It is a great case, and just is like a Otterbox but coast a lot less. I would buy it again!
