Will the hard plastic back of the case scratch the back of the phone? I've only ever used rubber/silicone cases.

It hasn't on mine. The hard plastic tells more like a rubber than a hard plastic you would find in a child's toy.

No it will not scratch the back of the phone. It fits really well and looks nice. The one thing I have come to dislike about it is it shows finger and palm smudges ( is that the right word ? ) on the clear back. Other than that it is a nice, slim, protective case.

I purchased this product a couple of weeks ago (roughly) and I haven't noticed any scratches on the back of the phone. I just realized though that I never even took off the thin plastic layer that covers the back of the phone. My phone and case were both brand new when they arrived. I think I will leave the plastic cover because I didn't even know that it was there and it looks great. Also, I am a stickler on making sure the plastic on the case is clean and also the back of my phone is clean before I put my phone into the case.

No. I actually still have the plastic on the front. Its plain but it works! I dropped my phone from a pretty high distance on accident and it is fine. I thought by the way it hit the concrete is would be at least scratched. Nothing!

The answer is no. The back corner plastic is the same material as the back case of the phone. I gave this case about 3 days of usage, and I'm a heavy user. It doesn't rub the metal at all even after a . The case aesthetic and built are great.

Yes, there's a hard clear plastic cover. It makes the phone a bit less sensitive to touch than the flexible plastic covers I think, though probably better protected in the event of a direct screen impact. Seems more likely though for a dropped phone to impact on the back, sides, or front rim, unless it were dropped on an uneven surface like a big rock instead of on the ground.

I had no problem with it at all. This color in particular has a matte finish that sticks better to the hand than the other ones with glossy finish.The case protects your phone really good. I had it falling from 2 meters high and either case and phone didnt get a scratch. Hope that answeryour question and help you decide.

You should be fine. I've had this case for a while now, I've dropped my phone multiple times and hasn't sustained any damage or scratches.

I just wrap the back around behind it tuck the closing flap back inside the slot and hold it like I would a regular phone, I have been doing this since I got the case and it is showing no signs of wear from bending it back like that. Hope you can get the idea from my description.

No, I've carried it in back pocket, sat on it and accidentally stepped on it and it's just fine. You can't scratch it because it's hard plastic.

The back of the model I got is hard plastic and seems pretty scratch resistant. I do have one scratch on it, but it's not obvious. Overall it's a good ipad protector.UPDATE: Oh dang - I just looked closer at the back of my case. it IS metal after all, not plastic as I thought. It does have a very minor scratch. As another person said, the raised tabs on the corners generally keep the back off of whatever you set it on. It's a good design.

Not too rough as to mess up the screen of your phone, but not smooth enough to slide out of your hand. Its more the flipper and pocket clip that are more likely to scratch it up. I have dropped my phone in the same pocket several times and no scratches from it as of yet, though I would not recommend making a habit of it.

Yes it is a hard plastic but when the iPad set in place it's pretty hard for it to scratch. The fit is exact so it does not move around either to cause any scratches. If really a concern you can buy the stick on shield before using the case.

Great question- I am going to say "no" it's a non glossy hard plastic and inside is a more rubbery, spongy rubber that cradles the phone. I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge at night taking pics and dropped it at least two times while in the case and no scratches, damages, etc. I even, spilled a huge amount of pizza grease on the case (love NY Pizza by the slice) and wiped it off, and later rinsed the case off with soap and water in my hotel room (removing the phone from the case of course). I do like the case, I'm just leary of the "give" of the rubber where the home button is...but so far no issue having used it for the past few months. Hope this helps!

No, the backside is a hard plastic. The outside border is rubber though. Also, it's a pretty thick case. If you prefer a slim case I wouldn't get this one. It does protect it well when you drop it though.

Hard cases do not fit, Silicone may not fit well but you can stretch them on to some degree. I have found that this back is actually more resilient then the back that it came with. I love the option of charging it either way now. Hope this helps.

The case has a matte finish on it that seems to avoid scratches. It's not a hard plastic, so it flexes just enough with what it touches. On the previous case I had for my 4S, the only scratch came from a key (from being in the same pocket). I used that case for at least a year, if that tells you anything.

It isn't a hard case, it is just a very durable rubber. This case won't scratch your phone

The corners are actually made of the same material at the rest of the cover. The material appears to be molded or bent over to hold the iPad. If you've seen a Marware C.E.O. Hybrid, it's the exact same fastening system. The material in the corners are thick and should provide excellent protection for the device's corners. I don't think it will scratch the mini but I've only had ours for a few days now. Over time "scuff" marks may develop, but I doubt that it will cause actual scratches.

Not at all. The interior edges do grip pretty well, but the phone's edges kinda slide into the grooves of the case. I can't speak for any other than the soft-feeling colors, but once it's on the phone it's on there. The only time it might conceivably scratch the phone is if you pry the case off too roughly. Otherwise you're good.
