Is the case the rubberized/softer material all the way around? The edges look like a harder plastic, and that is the part I really want to be softer.

Its all the same plastic. However imho as is, its enough to protect the cellphone. I dropped my phone from waist height to concrete and only the case got scratches.

it is hard plastic and it isn't all the way around. Actually, there is an opening on the top and bottom and I managed to drop my phone right at that spot and chipped the edge of phone.

The case is one kind of plastic, and I wouldn't call it rubberized or softer material.

It is a great product. I have purchased a second case for my wife's s5. It is very slim and fit in my hand perfectly. Hope this review help you decide to buy it. I will buy a replacement when this one need to be replaced.

It helps somewhat, but make no mistake, it's hard plastic. Matte finish, but does not have a rubbery feel at all. But I love the case, and feel that the durability is increased.

It is pretty rigid and the plastic is shiney and can be a little slippery. If you are looking for a cover that has the types of qualities that rubber can give, i.e., non slippery surface and the easy to grasp quality that rubber can give, this product is not it. The back side is especially slippery. Please let me know if I didn't answer your question. If this is the case maybe you can leave a little more info as to what you are looking for. I will do my best to try to help.

Yes. It's not rubbery though. The texture seems to be different than previous models that did feel a lot more rubbery. I owned a Defender Series case for my previous phone purchased 2.5 years ago. I'm sure they've made some improvements since then.

This was for my son and this is his reply; The sides are reinforced with a harder plastic on the outside edges, however the top and bottom are purely silicone. You do need to know how to put it on correctly and I would caution that the texture film of the hard case is quite prone to peeling at the edges.

Definitely smooth feel to it. Besides the rubber corner pieces, and the side grins. It is no more difficult to use then it was before I applied the case.

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).

The rubber case you mention is soft neoprene, but then there is a hard plastic case that covers the back and sides. Hope this helps!

It has a slight rubber feel. I would still consider it a "hard" case, but it is definitely not like a hard lacquer plastic case. If placed on a glass table top, it does not slide easily, which is good for my use. I enjoy this case

The top and bottom edges of the case and the edge running around the screen of the phone are rubber. The rest of the case is plastic. The plastic has some grooves as you can see in the picture, and overall has a matte finish (not entirely smooth). The plastic does not feel thin or flimsy at all, overall has a sturdy feel. Hope that helps.

The corners are more rubbery feeling than the rest of the case, which is more hard plastic. I have not had much issue with it slipping out of my hand, nor does it grip too much to my pocket material to make getting my phone out a hastle.

Hi Laurie, rubber is also considered a plastic. If you meant to ask if it's hard plastic or soft like rubber, then the answer is: it's hard plastic. This case is not silicone. It's overall (the black parts you see in images) a rigid plastic. It's not soft like a silicone but not as hard as a regular plastic. It's a special plastic which has a modified level of hardness (we alter the hardness level of the plastic) to ensure a great level of drop protection.

The clear part of the case is hard plastic. The grey trim is a softer material. I don't know if it's silicon, but even tho it's softer and gives a bit it is still pretty stiff.

No it isn't... I was kinda disappointed at first when I received it. Mainly beci was expecting for the case to be rubber and have raised buttons like my last case. But it has grown on me... I get many compliments for it and it has saved the life of my phone and its screen more than once!

Hm. It is slightly soft, which I think gives better protection, but it doesn't feel kinda 'sticky' like some silicone cases feel to me. To me it compares well with the speck candyshell case feel.

The colored piece of the case feels hard and smooth. It isn't slippery, but it doesn't have any sort of texture to it that would impede putting into or pulling it out your pocket or other enclosed area. I personally prefer this look and feel to the soft, pliable type. The black piece is made of a softer material but again, it isn't as rubbery and pliable as other cases. When assembled on the phone it provides excellent protection while remaining fairly thin.

Basically smooth all over there is rubberized parts on the case . It is a very nice case wouldnt hesitate to buy another one .
