Does the edge of this case have a hard plastic feel or a soft feel (one that has some give)?

Soft and smooth. That doesn't mean flimsy though. It's a very nice feeling case.

Hard to explain. Not too hard, not that soft. I like it a lot for the price.

The case itself isn't hard shatter-prone plastic and has "some " flexibility... But I wouldn't trust it if it came to my phone accidentally dropping from a foot from the ground distance. I mainly purchased this for the value.

The edges are firm, but not a hard plastic firm. Yes, they have some give. The case is one piece, so you have to bend it slightly to pull it over the phone. It holds well, and is snug against the phone.

I would say it feels pretty thick. I've never had a case like this before, just the foam soft ones, so I cannot relate to the pealing. This one feels durable. It is hard but flexible with pressure.

The rubber solid cover that goes underneath the outside cover is soft, but then there is the other cover that overlays it which is not soft. You can only see and feel the soft part on the top and bottom as well as your volume buttons of the phone. I hope this helps.

It's not hard plastic and it's not super soft like silicon, it's in-between. It's definitely not a hard plastic though, not like most of those 2 piece cases I've seen.

It is a hard case with a rubber feel. I really like it. I have always put a cove on my cell phones and this is the best one I've ever had. Once it's on it seems like part of the phone and doesn't make the phone noticeably thicker. Go for it!

A little of both. When you hold the phone in your hand normally, you mostly feel the harder plastic. The edges and corners all feel like the rubber material. It is a very comfortable cover. I got this cover for my old phone as well and bought again now when I got a new phone. I think it is worth the money.

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.

The case is plastic but it has a soft textured feel to it, not rubbery. It is not slippery. The phone definitely benefits from this case because the phone is slippery.

More of a rubbery feel to the back cover. This is two pieces. The black part wraps around the phone is rubbery, then the colored bezel that snaps around it is hard plastic.

Mine was made of hard plastic. It's not as flexible as other cases might be, but it's not bad.

The bottom (where the charge port is) and the buttons have a silicone feel because that's where the silicone part lays, but the phone back and most of the phone have a hard plastic feel. It feels really nice and will go in and out of your pockets easy :)

is the top and bottom part of the case soft or is it more like shiny and smooth?

It is a thick, hard plastic with a softer liner around the edge that is made for a better grip. There are openings for the buttons.

Hi. It feels more like rubber than a hard case, but I think it's super durable. It's a smooth, flexible material. Sorry, I'm not the best at describing things, but I think it's a really good case; especially for the price.

It feels like a hard case kind of in the middle between a hard plastic case and hard rubber It isn't shiny.

the center part of the back is smooth & a bit slick. Th rest of the case, most importantly the sides, have a rubberized feel, & grip nicely.

It has the rubber gasket feel that covers the phone, then a hard plastic that goes over the rubber. The plastic is stiff and molds the to phone. It has protected my phone from my three year old who likes to play games, then throws my phone.
