Is the black area rubberized for a better grip?

No, it is not but the size helps with the grip and there are 3 indented lines around it down toward the end.

It has two parts to it, the outer hard plastic part and the inner rubber part. The hard plastic part is smooth, no grip. However the edges of the rubber part that show have grip.

Yes. The black you see is the rubber pads to reduce vibrations in your feet.

You shouldn't be worried about the grip. The rubber has a near tacky feel and has a great fit in the hand. I am 6' and wear size large gloves. Great feel. You won't be disappointed.

The outer surface is textured but it is very subtle. It provides for a better grip. I really like these gloves since I can often get away with using them 2 or 3 days before they rip and wear out.

Yes it is. The grip is nice but it wears out very quickly. Like 1 to 2 months of regular use.

The black part is on the perimeter. It is a little coarse, so you do get a good grip when holding the phone. It has never slipped out of my hand.

I have the black version. It has a nice, smooth finish unlike the purple version. It will not stick your hands.

yes it is...however I think it needed a little more grip like a rubber to hold it better

The only "rubbery" feeling as you say is the black edge of the case. But it's a hard, dense rubber rather than soft or spongy... like what you might get on traditional phone cases. The rubber edge combined with the composite material and rear design provides a sure grip.

I suppose that you are talking about cushion grip. The answer is yes, but mild, and I believe related to the temperature of the material.

Thickness might be on site, but can be applied to grip over factory grip without any discomfort as thin enough not to make a difference

Yeah it has a kind of textured rubber grip. It has a pretty good feel to it too.

Wow! I didn't realize there was any rubber. On the left click there is rubber, but sort of hard, on the right click side, it's hard plastic. Fyi, For the price it's pretty good compared to any wireless mice I have had (and still do). The button on top allows you to actually speed up or slow down the cursor movements, which is pretty cool.

The black part is a TPU rubber and it tends to be a little slippery but that's in rare cases (at least for me). It is really smooth and nice to the touch. The plastic band around the phone that keeps the rubber in place is glossy and really durable (but I don't suggest putting it to a lot of stress).

The material is more of a soft plastic, it grabs better that the back of the phone, but it isn't as grippy as rubber. Another solution is to take the plastic exterior off to utilize the rubber interior. It's very easy to do.

The rubber is textured and your fingers do feel less likely to slip off because this kind of rubber is more slip resistant that the non-rubber camera parts. The skin also makes the grip thicker, but not in a bad way. It can be taken off easily so you can use it only when you feel you are going to bang the camera around. The only problem I have is that the buttons are only marked with impressions of the original markings and not white. This only presents a problem in the dark and as I become more familiar with the camera the problem becomes less of a concern. After you smack the camera into a hard surface for the firs time you will order it, that's what I did.
