Does this case have a rubberized grip, or is it slick and slippery?

The black areas are like a hardened rubber/plastic. It is not as grippy as rubber but definitely not slippery.

I don't find it slippery. On the sides where one would normally grip it, it is a combination of hard rubber with a metal overlay. My wife uses an Otterbox Defender case on her iPhone 5 and it the Spigen case does not have the sure grip that the Otterbox does, but it is far less bulky and MUCH, MUCH easier to get out of a pocket. The rubber used on the Spigen case is much harder than the Otterbox case so it is different. I have been using the Spigen case for over a month and it has yet to slip out of my hand. Also, my youngest daughter got a hold of my iPhone 5s and dropped it - the Spigen case protected the phone just fine. I don't find it slippery.

I just put this case Metal Slate on my new I phone 5S and it literally jumped out of my hand twice in less then an hour. Once while texting with one hand held from the bottom and once when removing it from my pocket. This is a well built case and luckily protected my phone but the Metal Slate part is way too slick.Update 11/5/13 I put 3 small strips of static screen protector on each side and the back over the metallic sections and I am really liking this case now.

Combination of plastic & rubber. My hands are big and the case feels secure in my grip .

I think the question is asking, or at least I'd certainly like to know - is this case slick and slippery, easy to slide out of pocket or hand, or does it have some grippy-ness to it?

The back is slick and not rubberized. Actually, the entire case has a smooth feel.

No, it's not slippery. The edges are a rubber-like plastic that is easy to grip.

The rubber around the edges its not slippery but the solid white plastic shell is. Now the rubber that is exposed at the top and bottom of the cover helps the phone not slide around but it can slide if for example left in the dashboard of a car in a sharp turn is taken.

It's neither. It is not slippery except for the colored frame. The actual case has a matte finish the "feels" rubbery but isn't. I am thrilled with it. It's a classy case without the bulk and poor response around the buttons. The fit is exact with no gaps anywhere. Would it fail a drop test meant for an Otterbox ? Probably, but I don't care. It will easily survive a drop on the floor from my hand. I STRONGLY advise to shell out the $30+ for the best screen protector you can find. Pair the two and you have a class act.

It's not textured but it has a rubber type feel. So it is smooth but you will find that it grabs your fingers. Oil will make anything slippery but I have swam with this case and did not lose grip.

No the case is not slippery and it does have rubber around the whole outer edge.

Rubberized. Makes it very easy to hold. Plus the ribbed texture helps to hold it as well. I personally love this case.

It is textured, not real grippy and not real slippery. I bought this for my kids 9 months ago and it has protected it .

It is pretty smooth, but not slick, like shiny plastic. The small parts of case where buttons are feel more rubbery, but rest of case is smooth and will slide into your back pocket easily.

The case is plastic but it has a soft textured feel to it, not rubbery. It is not slippery. The phone definitely benefits from this case because the phone is slippery.

It is not slippery, or easy to drop. I am currently using this case and I love it! I have not dropped my phone once with this case.

Not slippery at all. Good grip. I've already dropped my phone twice and nothing happened to my phone or the case. I also got one of those glass screen protectors works good with the case, it doesn't get messed up by it.

To me it was not slippery at all. The case is slim and just increases the thickness and the weight just a tiny bit which for me is good because I had to feel the weight and the bulk of it because the phone by itself was light and slim.

Most of the case is a shiny plastic that can be slippery but on the four corners there are rubber bumpers that provide grip. The hard plastic also has molded ridges on the sides to increase grip. I have never had a problem dropping the phone.
