is the bottom of the backpack made up of some hard plastic or though material to withstand floor/ground contact and resist friction / erosion?

The back and bottom are fabric. The back plane of the backpack has a semi-rigid piece inside surrounded by soft padding and a soft breathable nylon fabric exterior along its entire length. The bottom piece is a heavy nylon fabric with some padding. There is nothing like rubber feet or plastic runners to keep ground contact to a minimum. If the bag is dragged or slid across a rough surface it will begin to show. I found this bag to be better quality than most of the bags in the school supply isle at my local department store and as good or better quality than many at the local sporting goods/ camping supply store. The quality far exceeds the price.

Its made of sturdy plastic. I slam stuff into it all of the time & no issues.

I doubt it will scratch the floor since there is a plastic protection ring on the bottom. I assume its there for a reason.

I believe it is a hard plastic. (Very sturdy, light weight and comfortable)

No jus hard plastic but I don't think it would hurt your floors maybe put some cushion pads on it just in case

The foot step is a fairly solid chunk of plastic. The release mechanism is also plastic. I've had no issues so far with a moderate amount of use in Dallas are clay/soil.

It is a hard plastic. I would probably get a piece of felt or similar fabric and glue it to the bottom before putting onto a hardwood floor.

The bottom is pure metal while the sides, back and facing are of a hard durable plastic. Unless you plan on dropping it or throwing it around alot you then should have nothing to worry about. It's very durable.

It's very thin ripstop material. It was a perfect daypack. I didn't get it significantly wet, but put an edge under the faucet just now. Not waterproof, but it took maybe 15 seconds to permeate the fabric under faucet flow. I'd guess no for Splash Mountain. For a change of clothes, toiletries, a couple of on-the-go meals, it did great. I anticipate using it for the same things when I get to travel. I would keep a tablet or paperbacks in it, but not a laptop or textbooks. Hope that wandering journey helps!

It is hard plastic and should withstand for a good while, if not put under alot of Weight. I have two and the new ultra pro design is great.

It has hard plastic feet with a hole in each for staking on grass/soil. We just did a street fair and were set up on the asphalt. we also purchased the black nylon zippered leg weight bags. They have two chambers and a strap that wraps around the leg and secures with velcro. We like the shelter, it works well and sets up fine on a hard surface or soft.

The bottom is a hard plastic grid. Works well for staying in place on top of carpet.

no it does not at least on any hard surface with cracks or expansion joints, that being said, however this is one of the best computer backpacks I have ever owned, light and indestructible . just great.

It is in between a rubber and a hard plastic. I've never had any issues with mine collecting lint or dust.

The material is similar to backpacks and briefcases. I would guess it's water resistant, but not waterproof.

Material with a hard bottom. It durable though. My 3 1/2 year old is 45 lbs and can get on and it's perfect. I'm very pleased with my purchase. Using on a bike it's a bit heavy but it pushes like a dream
