does it feel more like hard plastic or rubber?

It is in between, soft plastic, but rigid enough to maintain shape very well. It is a little slicker than rubber, but with the ridges on the side it has a good gripping area. The frosted area has a slightly different texture. It reminds me of a kids bouncy ball that's inflated to the max.

Both. There is an S pattern on the back and part of it feels like plastic and the other part like rubber.

It is more like rubber and flexible but still has some hard plastic on the side ish

The material is not a rigid plastic nor is it overly pliable like rubber but to the touch it will feel softer like rubber.

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.

It's more like plastic than rubber. It is a little bit of a pain pushing the volume and lock buttons due to it.

The only "rubbery" feeling as you say is the black edge of the case. But it's a hard, dense rubber rather than soft or spongy... like what you might get on traditional phone cases. The rubber edge combined with the composite material and rear design provides a sure grip.

A really dense plastic, it feels like. It's almost like a large plastic cutting board.. but it has more weight to it.

Harder than a bumper. Definitely a pliable plastic but not as soft as the bumpers. Does that help?

Yes, this one is also hard plastic. It improves grip due to the surface finish it has, but it is not "rubbery"

The inside of the back (yellow / blue area) feels more like a hard plastic, the red area on the sides is a little more flexible and feels more like rubber. I have been very happy with the case so far (9+ months) Hope this helps!

It feels like rubber. But I don't think it is. Should be some kind of polymer.

Ignore everyone else, it is made of a rubbery feeling plastic. Much gripier than oem

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.

It is hard plastic that has a rubberized feel. It's not very thick and might not do much for protection.

I'm not looking at it right now, but it seems like it is more like rubber than plastic should flex rather than break like plastic would.

It helps somewhat, but make no mistake, it's hard plastic. Matte finish, but does not have a rubbery feel at all. But I love the case, and feel that the durability is increased.

It feels like a hard case, slightly softer to the touch. It is definitely not what I would call rubbery

I can't vouch for the material, but it appears and feels like hard plastic; and the grips are wonderfully molded for secure fit.

I is a flexible rubber or plastic material. It almost feels like a sealant or composite.

It is plastic. But it has a texture that feels like hard rubber. I don't know about the packaging since I only bought the one item. I have had this for a year and it is still like new
