Is this case hard or soft? Says above that it's made of TPU, but I have no idea what that is. Want to cushion my phone when I drop it (unfortunately that's often!)

It's soft. It won't do much for you if you drop it. It's thin. Also the chances of the bow being attached when you get it are slim to none

It's a lil soft but it's firm....I drop my phone all the time but with this case and my screen protecter my phone has no scratches or cracks!

The corners, top and back (back is softer) feels like hard rubber. It was nicer then I expected. I get compliments on this case regularly. I even dropped the phone and it just bounced off the corner and landed with no damage to the phone at all.

I suspect it is a soft case. I've never had one and it is still fine years later. I like mine.

It is a rubberized hard case. I would REALLY recommended this case. It might not be the most creative looking or pretty, but it is amazing. It has replaceable corners so that if you damage it for some reason, you can replace them easily. Also, the corners are raise a little so that even if you faceplant the phone, the case absorbs all of it. I am a very clumsy person and drop my phone a lot, but this case has saved my phone countless times on all kinds of surfaces. It is rubberized so it doesn't crack and is really easy to put on and take off.

Hi Albina!! It is a hard case but is really soft and protect my phone really well. I do not regret it to have bought

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.

Disregard my last answer, I got this case confused with another case. Sorry, but this clear case is hard plastic. It's perfect. I dropped my phone plenty of times, the case would fall off some times but It would never break.

It isn't soft. The case is a firm plastic. The side plastic is rigid and the flex back is more like rubber, but the finish makes it look rigid. I have been very pleased with the looks of the case..I have the black one, so I can't speak for the rest.

Its material is firm and bendable, however it is very fit to the phone, designed to stay with it in case of "durability tests". I can't say it's that hard to remove and reinstall, I think it's just not so convenient unlike most TPUs

It is hard, but its soft. I love my cover. It has saved my phone numerous times! It looks bumpy, but there all even bumps with the cover so you hardly even notice it. You'll like it!

it is a semi hard case, it will keep your phone safe from minor drops and normal wear and tare

Hi Susan L. It might be slippery because of its glossy design. The case is made of lightweight, flexible TPU.

It's made of some soft plastic material. Personally, I don't like the feel of it but it seems to keep the phone from slipping. Definitely do wipe it before touching it so that you wipe of any residue chemicals left from the manufacturing process.

The grippiest TPU black case I've found is the Amazon Basics one. It's what I'm using. Simple sticky (but not too sticky) TPU.

I personally don't like this case. One it's to bulky. Not at all what I thought. It's a smith plastic case. I personally don't feel any hard rubber texture. I just invested in the Morphie. I have the hard black rubber for my I phone 4s and it is great. Long lasting battery and smooth to the touch but has grip which is a plus. I also have the slim one for my Iphone 5. But whish I got that same black one for that phone. Hope that helps.

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 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.
