Is it a harder plastic than the older Rubbermaid containers?

The answer is yes. These containers feel safe, hermetic when closed and resilient.

They are hard, like a water bottle hardness. I just had one crack more & leak all over my microwave. I'm very disappointed in the durability.

No not at all. In fact they are very flexable and they don't leak if they are tipped.

These newer ones are a softer more pliable material. I have had no problems with them... I have two..

Sorry for this ridiculously late response. I don't know what type of plastic you're looking for. I compare this to the tall Tupperware pitcher that I ALSO have. It's a very durable plastic. It's probably best to CALL a phone number for Rubbermaid and pose that question directly to them.

This is hard plastic not soft rubber. However, you will not find a soft rubber one any more. I think this is the best out of the bunch. It has a small lip under it towards the front and you just want to make sure that you have this lip extended beyond your countertop as it stops the water , when it drains; from backing up on your countertop. I do like it as far as the new ones go,,,

Yes it is the updated stronger silicone. I know what you mean my old one was very flimsy, this is much more heavy duty.

No, it's plastic. Very unreliable plastic. The only one I've found that's all stainless is KleenKanteen Vacuum Insulated Food Container and it's either 8-oz or 16-oz, so not as good as size for me. If you find something let me know!

Yes it is. However, this container broke after few uses. We even got another one and the same thing happened. The plastic just cannot hold the weight and it cracks.

It's a very tough plastic, kind of reminds me of the old Tough Stuff alphabet blocks my 40 year old son used to have. It's very durable. Although I don't usually because it's bulky, I have put it in the dishwasher no problem. Hope this helps.

no, not at all. I've had one I've used for five years. The plastic seems a bit more flexible, and doesn't seem to crack.

The container is a solid plastic--the kind that looks like glass, and not the flexible kind. It is, however, of very good quality. I dropped an empty container once (to the floor, from a counter height), and it didn't break, didn't even get banged up.

I'm not sure about the kind of plastic, however I have found that these inserts do not keep produce fresher any longer than using a rubbermaid container without them. Don't waste your money.

It's similar to rubbermaid or Tupperware. A heavy, somewhat flexible plastic.

Is not quite either. It's a hard rubber. Stronger than some of the cheap plastic cases. Very well made. I love this case!

I'm not sure about Rubbermaid. This duck brand product stays put on shelves. It has a smooth surface topside and the bottom has a slightly bumpy rubbery feel. That's what helps it stay put, but you can still move it around if you want to rearrange things. The top side is still nice and smooth.

This one is a harder plastic than the regular aerobie disk. Very good night time frisbee, though.

Don't know. Hard plastic though. I'd be fine with just a plain tupperware plastic, durabler container unless your planning on keeping contents inside long.

I don't think the plastic is any stronger than rubbermaid container. I'm not even 100% sure it's air tight. But, I am happy with it. Might check it out at a local petsmart or petco (I can't remember which carried it) before ordering it. Amazon sent me a damaged one anyway but Bergan replaced it for me.
