What is the trim made of on the outer rim? And how does that help protect the phone?

The main body is a hard rubber/plastic. The outer piece is a durable piece of metal. The size is a little larger all around, which is nice. No matter how you set it down no part of the phone touches the surface it's on.

It's made of a hard plastic. And the inside is a rubber case . Would not recommend to buy cracked my screen on the first drop

The trim is made out of plastic. Its main purpose seems to be to secure the tpu protective layer in place

The rim around the phone is made out of plastic for drops on its sides. It will protect the phone and if it happens to break, it is a separate piece, so you can replace just the rim for a few bucks. The front is protected also because the case wraps around just a tad keeping the screen from hitting flat on a surface.

The trim is made of a hard plastic, not so hard as to crack at a moments notice but hard enough to ensure the rubber portion does not come off. This is a two piece unit and I've dropped mine twice from a height of four or five feet and I can't see any damage to the plastic or the rubber. It is very functional and pretty decent protection. My goal with any phone is to provide the best protection possible without adding too much bulk to the phone. This works very nicely to accomplish that goal.

The outer trim is made of a hard smooth Plastic that looks and feels like metal.

There are grooves on the side, and rubber on each corner. I am good and clumsy, I haven't dropped it yet :). How it's designed, you shouldn't have a problem. It's actually encased in rubber or soft plastic and the hard plastic snaps over it. So the screen stays protected and the phone as a whole. If i could send a picture I would. The light blue it the hard plastic, the dark blue is the rubber.

I would say it is a firm silicone/rubber mix that fits rather snuggly which is good. It doesn't snap on or anything (it is one piece), you simply have to stretch it over the phone. Hope that helps!

I don't know the exact thickness. But I'm using mine right now and it really keeps the phone super thin. You can barely tell it's on there! I would definitely invest in one.

There is a Case (hard plastic) for the iPhone and a Rubber Gasket(?) that fits on the outside/ perimeter of the Plastic case, that is supposed to provide additional protection for the phone/ case.

no, it is plastic, and it actuallu secures the rubber to the phone. It is a 2 piece assembly. Rubber goes around corner and back of phone, then plastic/polycarbonate shell goes over that. Hope that helps

It's hard shell around the phone and rubber outsole. I really like it. I have drop my phone whole lot of times and don't have a single scratch on it.

There's two pieces. One is a timber edge that goes all the way around the edge of the phone to absorb shock. Then the plastic clips on the back and is also liked with a layer of silicone. And it's not super bulky which I like. It's a really cute case also. I'd compare it to like the otterbox commuter case. It's nice! And the price is great!

So far, this case has done its job of protecting my cell, and of staying put (my cell has about 5 months now). It is a skin made of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), which is a material like a thick ruber. It covers the back of the cellphone, and kind of cushions it. A screen protector is essential, don't forget to apply one to the screen!

It is a multi-layer/material case. The phone itself sits in a silicone housing. There is a piece of gorilla glass that protects the screen. Those items are then sandwiched together by an aluminum exterior (front and back) making up the complete case.

It's a rubbery bumper. It isn't really a case. It just goes around the edge of phone. It doesn't bend all the way, but it is flexible.

The case is a plastic that has a small wave of clear and the rest is a frosted finish that has a silicone feel to help keep it from slipping. The sides have rubber grips. It is a really nice case. I have dropped the phone several times and it has nor broken or cracked nor has my phone.

corners are covered partially as well as both edges along the long sides. Both, the top and the bottom are exposed when out of the belt-clip outer case, but it does not seem to leave the phone too unprotected and allows for super light case. Great case. So far, after 2 weeks of taking it everywhere, and clipping it it to different things, it still looks brand new.

not sure but the clear part covers the back of the phone so it's not critical

Plastic screen protector that prevents scratches and extra strength to the glass if it is dropped. I have used this case for 6 months now and dropped my phone several times and no break. It is very thin and I was not sure it would really protect the phone, but it has been put to the test several times and has done the job.

There is a rubber layer that covers the entire phone. A hard plastic layer snaps on over the rubber but doesn't completely cover the rubber. I feel like my phone is well protected. I've dropped it twice and the phone doesn't have a single ding. The cover is also none the worse for wear after the falls, either.

It is a silicone outer surface. It is sticky compared to the similar outer part that is on my wife's iPhone 5 Defender case. The outer material on my case is also a softer material than that on my wife's.
