Hi. I'm very interested in this case for my macbook air. I would like to know-- is it shiny or is it rubberized? Thanks.

I selected the green case and it is a shiny hard plastic, not at all rubbery. Only the keypad cover is rubbery (and sometimes a little difficult to use).

Hi, Sarah. It is a hard plastic. Nothing rubbery or spongy about it.The sheen could be called "satin," I suppose. It's not shiny, but it's not a matte patina either.

It's hard plastic. It's not really shiny or matte. I guess it's hard to explain. It's an opaque plastic cover.

It's not shiny but not really rubber looking. It's a plastic case with a muted, frosted look to it. It's not quite as bright as the photos.

I have the case.. It looks exactly as the picture shows- the case fits nicely on my chromebook and I haven't had any problems with it at all. It has lasted since I have had it, doesnt come off and has not broken or cracked at all. initially looked like a case now it looks like thats how my chromebook came.

It is a rubberized hard case. I would REALLY recommended this case. It might not be the most creative looking or pretty, but it is amazing. It has replaceable corners so that if you damage it for some reason, you can replace them easily. Also, the corners are raise a little so that even if you faceplant the phone, the case absorbs all of it. I am a very clumsy person and drop my phone a lot, but this case has saved my phone countless times on all kinds of surfaces. It is rubberized so it doesn't crack and is really easy to put on and take off.

Hi Maria! Are you inquiring about the colored layer on the inside of the case or the outer layer? Because if you are asking about the colored layer then it is in fact soft and squishy while the outer shell is a hard plastic. Hope this answered your question! -Allyson Welch

It's a hard case (view part), the sides are are made out of rubber, but the rubber is not soft. It's a great case I had no problems with it, and it still maintains the phones sleek appeal.

This is metallic plastic like sticker thing - it looks EXACTLY like the silver Mac casing - you can barely tell the difference. I love it! I also have the clear (although it comes in a variety of colors) keyboard cover/protector made by Moshi - and I love it too!

It's not semi rubbery, it's harder than a silicone type case your thinking of, yet it's still flexible. The matte finish isn't anti slip like our high gloss cases are, unfortunately we don't offer high gloss for this device. I don't think you'll find it sliding all over the place like a hard shell would, but don't expect it to stick either.

Actually, i just bought the case without keyboard cover, but honestly, i pretty love the case, it has fairly cute color. Due to the material, rubber, the logo is vague. Anyway, I really love it, highly recommend.

The shiny part is metal, and somewhat slippery. The end caps are exposed rubber and have a good grip. Overall? If your hands are small or slick this case isn't the most grippy.

The Elago case that I purchased is shiny; not matte. It is smooth to the touch.

I have the case and love it. It is flexible but fits snug. Made very well and protects the computer very well.

It's not rubber. It's a plastic shell with a slightly rubbery feeling on the outside. And you can see the Apple glowing when it's on

Hey, Syndi: I've been using this case for about 2 1/2 years, no problems with wrist rubbing at all. During regular use of my MacBook Air, my hands don't touch the case at all. The only thing I'd like to see on this case is heavier "feet" on the back of the case, to prop the back end of the computer "up." The existing feet on my case are thin plastic. I'm careful with my computer, and even so, finally broke one of the feet. Otherwise, totally happy with this case and would buy it again. I get regular compliments in public about how nice the case looks.

I honestly do not feel that the case is bulky, but I have a MacBook pro which is naturally thicker than a macbook air. The case does make it a little thicker, but not too much.

Faisal: I don't precisely understand your question, but I can tell you that I have the same computer (11" macbook air) and my keyboard cover fits like a glove and looks exactly like the picture. I also didn't think it matched my keyboard from the image, but I trusted Amazon's amazing return policy and went for it. I was not disappointed (by the product). I'm pretty sure all macbook airs have the same mass produced keyboard, so you should be similarly delighted.

It's made of plastic but it has a really nice rubberised finish, you can see the apple glow through it quite easily. I filled in a replacement form and incase is sending me a new one, hopefully I will have more luck with that one

Its kind of rubbery, but be careful because I ended up getting cases for an iphone 4 instead of a 5...I had to sell my cases aswell because of that.
