Is it delicate? Because I know there are several types of plastic and I just wanted to know: Does it bend easily, like some plastics?

The plastic material is not flexible and it is as durable as plastic can be. As long as you don't drop it or bang it on anything sharp or hard surface, it should not break. Just handle it with care and all should be well. Store it at room temperature.

I feel like you could break it, particularly at the bend of the base. But I don't feel like if it fell off a table it would shatter or anything. It feels more like hard plastic than glass in my opinion.

It does have a little bit of give to it so it doesnt break easily, but not a lot. Its not that real hard plastic that when you squeeze it that it snaps.

it's kind of a soft plastic. Not a hard plastic, it has some give. It is not cheaply made. It is very smooth.

It's a harder plastic although there is some 'give' in in - it's certainly not rigid... you can bend it a little. It's done great for me - loads of drops on the floor and the phone has never been damaged. The only thing I don't like is that it has definitely yellowed. It's no longer clear.

Yes, there are no hard plastics or metals to make this non-flexible. If you grab this at any place with 2 fingers, the area on both sides will flop downwards? But the coiled shape is fixed, at rest it will always lay in the position shown.

It's a heavy plastic but still bendable to avoid cracking. Very well worth it!!

Pliable plastic. Luckily the plastic is pretty thick, so it'll take some time for it to warp. But it can be slightly flimsy if you apply pressure onto the tip. But with some modifications you can make it so it won't bend as much.

It's very delicate. I haven't had anything break, but I handle it very carefully. As far as I can tell, the metallic paint hasn't shown any signs of wearing out.

I've had mine for awhile and the only problem I've had is the rubber on the handle starts to move around on the end near the hole for hanging---now, the rubber has come loose from the metal, and has come off. the tip...still works, but they need to improve that design somehow...there is no bending involved,however, since it is one piece of aluminum ...Who ever claims "bending" is hands down WRONG....

Definitely -- it has NO give. I am unsure what it is made of (I'm sure we could find out) but it is made either of metal or a SERIOUSLY solid polymer. I don't see how anyone could break or bend it unless they were trying to catch moving vehicles with it...Okay, looked more closely when I got home & it is plastic - torqued on it a bit and you CAN make it move a bit but still don't think it will fail to give the amount of pressure needed. Its design allows max pressure with very little effort.

Yes, it is not a thin plastic. I've had one on my table since I bought it- it is on top of a nice cloth tablecloth. I expect it to hold up for a long time!

It is made of plastic, so it's light and a little bendable. I'm sure if you bend this hard enough, it will break (but not shatter).

It's pliable. Think of it as a thin layer of ultra clear flexible vinyl. It has a slight rubbery texture (which I like) and seems to have a bit of impact absorption.

Thin Plastic. It breaks easy... if you bump into it it breaks. If you pull a hose past it it breaks. They look good but are very fragile... even watering my garden broke a couple of them b/c I let the hose trailing me run into them...

Well because I handle it lightly, I'm gentle with things non of mines have broken and I did not receive it broken... I believe its pretty sturdy, everyone has different experiences with theirs... Xoxo

it does look fragile, but i did it slowly & had no problem. i have alot of pieces that require batteries of that kind & have never had trouble. you might keep asking & perhaps get someone w/ a technical mind. i can only offer you my own experince good luck !
