Is it a pretty forgiving rubber that will provide a fair amount of cushioning? Or is it a hard rubber/plastic that still makes a "bang"? Thanks!

It's soft enough not to give the sharp bang you're thinking about. It is commercial grade, you've seen them in offices and other places.

There is no backing in the sense of a need for cushioning. There is a very thin layer of rubber, maybe 1/16" thick, that seems to be for holding the mat together and for gripping on slippery surfaces. The mat itself is made of some interwoven material that looks random. Since my purchase I have used every iron and wood I own and have been able to hit down and thru like turf. I can say that this mat has yet to stop any club from going thru, although is slows it down a lot if you chunk it. First mat I have ever owned that hasn't my arm or wrist, like some of the driving range mats on the concrete can do. There is no backing in the sense of a need for cushioning.

Don't really know which one could say but it's like a hard rubber/plastic feel to it, durable but not rock solid.

Although I don't think it looks like hard rubber, it has a bit of that feel to it so there is a grip. It is not slick.

Yes. Rubber-like is a good descriptor. It's not a sticky, stretchy type rubber but it is pliable. It has a dry, slightly textured feel. The ones I've seen are two-toned with the edge a different color than the back but it is not two pieces.

Yes it has some grip better than hard plastic not as good as rubber.It has some friction that if you bump it on a table or such, it will not slide across.Grips nice in hand.

It feels like a hard case, slightly softer to the touch. It is definitely not what I would call rubbery

No. There's no real cushioning of the drive at all. I put a SSD into it so it wasn't a concern for me. I like the super small size, but if you need protection you'll need to get something else (and probably something a bit bigger).

Very soft cushioned ride. Fine on the street, but heavy. Don't think you're going to burn-up the pavement.

It's sort of in between. It's rubber but not super hard either. It's soft rubber.

There is almost no cushioning at all. I haven't dropped my phone. But, I don't think it would be very well protected from a high drop.

I don't think it's hard plastic, it seems like very firm rubber with soft padding on top. My husband loves his.

It is cushioned but doesn't really mold to your legs although it sits comfortably on your lap. I love mine!

It is not cushiony but it does have a leather like texture that will make writing directly on the desk less than optimal. The desk is not assembled but it is not to difficult. The desk comes in a large box that is difficult to move. This is a really nice piece for the price, I wish is was 6" larger in each direction.. good luck!

BTW I did forget to mention that it has a nice bounce to it .... after I posted the first answer I read the other reviews ... I stick by my assessment that it is more likesilicone than a plastic.

It's not rubber. It's a synthetic plastic like material. It's very high quality.

Hi Allan, I love my spa seat cushion, I don't consider it to be hard, just really heavy. I leave mine submerged in water 24/7 and I would say it's definitely "cushiony". Agreed that it's much smaller in real life.
