How strong is the rubber? Is it softer, harder or like the rubber on a Otterbox?

It's flexible like the Otterbox. Doesn't seem like a cheap piece of rubber. There is a hard rubberized outer casing that holds it on just like the otterbox. In fact, one of my co-workers has an Otterbox on his phone and I like this case better.

Its not like an Otterbox at all(would of been nice) its very soft. But I've had it on about a month now and its held up very well. And note its 2 pieces.

The rubber is of a softer gel feel. But there is a harder peice that snaps to it. As for protection I think it would protect as good as a otterbox. As for the belt clip I think its built light weight but seems to hold well and had no problems yet. For the price excellent deal. Giving a perfect fit on the phone rating 5 star. You cat get a better case for the money spent.

It seems strong, I do not know the otterbox. I have a glass cover over the screen, from ZAG,and it fits fine. It is easy to get in and out of the holster which is a big improvement over theprevious holster case I had for the phone.

It looks like plastic, but it's very strong.... might be rubber? Check the Otterbox website?

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.

Yea it's pretty much the same. The rubber case that goes around the outside has a bit of a lip, that gets hung up on your pocket sometimes. But I also have a real otter box and it does that as well. And the plastic screen is just as touch sensitive also. Only really experienced a problem with it playing a game injustice gods among us because you have to hit close to the rims of the case. Otherwise it is great.

This unit seems more durable than the Defender series Otter Box offers. The case itself has a hard outer shell vice the rubber membrane on other similar boxes. I've only had it for a week, but seems very well made.

When on the case, feels like hard plastic. When trying to remove it for any reason, rubber. It's proven very helpful. I recommend it.

The case is not soft as rubber. But the word Hybrid describes it very well. It is hard enough to protect the phone but definitely softer than the plastic ones. I wouldn't say this is flexible but it is more rigid.

It appears to be a harder rubber but pliable. Provides good protection and gripe.

I'm not sure whether the Defender is the same Otterbox I had before, but I exchanged it for this Spigen. Otterbox is an excellent product in terms of safety - I've dropped my phone from my pocket (about 1.2 m off the ground) onto concrete and it just bounced, zero damage. However, it is a bit on the heavy side and esthetically Spigen has it beat hands down. I have dropped my phone a few times while in the Spigen case onto my hardwood floor and it hasn't been damaged. Another detail: Otterbox makes the phone somewhat bulkier, so it is harder to operate with one hand.

It's sort of in between. It's rubber but not super hard either. It's soft rubber.

Phone feels very secure in otterbox. I believe it to be worth the money. I have dropped my phone a few times with no ill effects!

Personally, I think it is better than the Otterbox. I think it is a little bit lighter and doesn't feel as bulky. With the otterbox, it feels so large and the button are so hard to hit. With this case, it goes right around the phone without being really thick and I can easily push the buttons.

It's more like a hybrid of the two. It's made of rubber but feels hard like plastic. It doesn't snap in like a plastic case, or flimsy like the gel ones I've tried.

Its not as soft as the gel cases but its not as hard as the "gel" part of the otterbox defender. Kind of an in between. The soft part goes all the way around the phone then the hard piece covers that. The hard stuff doesn't go all the way to the top so the edges around the screen are soft

The back plastic is sturdy, but not as thick like an Otterbox, and the inside is very smooth. I haven't noticed any negative affects of the case rubbing on the metal such as scuffs or scratches. Hope that helps!

I'd say its more hard-shell, but it doesn't feel like it will break. I really like this case - I've bought 2.
