Is this a hard case? Or a gel case?

It's more like a hybrid of the two. It's made of rubber but feels hard like plastic. It doesn't snap in like a plastic case, or flimsy like the gel ones I've tried.

The back is hard plastic but the edges are more of a soft, flexible material.

it's kinda like a mix with both. it's rubber but hard too. it won't get loose or stretchy like a rubber case would.

Well, the product is intended to combine both the gel and hard case together to form the perfect case against any accidental drop. The rubber IS smooth, so it may slip out of hand, but not too easily. If you are looking for rubber cases specifically, you may look somewhere else. Slide down inclines? It depends on what texture or material it is sliding down on. From thought, it WILL slowly slide down smooth surfaces. Any other, it may stand.

I would call it a hard case covered in cloth. It isn't a gig bag but it isn't an old fashioned hard case either. Maybe it is considered a semi hard case.

It is a hard case. Most of the reinforcement is along the edges. It has a stone black appearance, very sleek and nice!

Is not quite either. It's a hard rubber. Stronger than some of the cheap plastic cases. Very well made. I love this case!

Yes, it's a hard case with zippered sides and a Velcro-attached flap on top. It's very good and totally protects my camera, which I carry with me all the time. I highly recommend it.

It's a 2 PC but not gel. It only covers the back and side leaving the screen open. Phone can face in or out. There are openings for the camera and every button. It's my favorite case because it's the slimmest I can find with a belt clip. I've dropped my phone several times and so far no problems. Even dropped on concrete.

The back is a translucent hard plastic with enough texture to improve grip. The side are soft plastic, designed to absorb bumps, nicks etc. Not a jelly case.

It is jelly like with a smooth finish. The phone fit snugly in it. It is not a fully hard case more like a stiff flexible case.. If that makes any sense!

It's like a rubber but still a little hard.. It's not like those gel ones that are more flimsy.. I hope this helps..

Both. It comes with gel color case and a hard zebra shell for over color gel.

Yes, it is a hard case. I have used those rubbery cases and they are useless. Also, those rigid, plasticy cases and they are junk. This one is firm, but feels good in your hand and also provides good protection for your iphone 5.

Its a hard case. Its a very slim fitting case. Its very cute. Slides in & out of pocket very easily.

When I purchased mine it came with a hard case. Apparently, they switched to a soft case some time after that.

No. It has a cutout, and a gig bag comes with it, not a hard case. They've obviously used the wrong pic.

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.
