I have used other rubberized cases and they attract too much oil and fingerprints..does this case do the same thing?

no... this case is amazing. its the only battery case to really hold a charge, it protects and has not attracted oil or fingerprints... for me this case is fantastic

it does show a small amount of 'smugges' which hardly shows. The outer coating is a hard rubberized flat black which shows nothing on the sides. The area mentioned is the large rear surface

I can see some fingerprints on the back of the case. I never really noticed it before I read your question.

Actually the case has the same feel as the iPhone itself. I have a gold cell and the Lenmar compliments it. It is more charger than a protective case.

The case is made of llight aluminum and it doesn't get very dirty. I clean the case with Windex about once a month and it looks like new. I am amazed at how long the battery lasts on the iPhone with this case attached

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!

Had this same problem. Someone told me the oil from your fingers messes up the touchscreen. Simple soloution-clean with Windex.

Yes it does leave fingerprints and oil from face. When the screen is lit up you can not see any fingerprints or oil, but when the screen is off (black) you can see fingerprints and oil.

that is a matter of preference i personally like this one more but it dose get finger smudges while the other looks like it metal all around so it probably wont either case is good though check out some you tube reviews of them that fully show off the case so you can get an idea for the one you want

It definitely grips better than a plastic case or the battery cover, but not as much of the rubber is exposed as probably should be. It won't stay in place on your dashboard while you go around moderate curves. Hopefully that gives you an idea. Some of the other variants of this case work a little better.

No. No it doesn't. At least nothing that stands out to me and that sounds like something that would annoy me. Most of the time I forget it's even there. When I first put it on I could notice a bit of a difference in the texture, almost like it was a little more grippy, not quite as smooth, but I don't even notice that anymore. The protector doesn't show any more fingerprints than the glass itself did.

i really like this case. But it does show fingerprints. I tried windex but it didn't help. So I asked the guy at the Apple store what i could do. Rubbing alcohol and it worked like a charm! Easy!!!

Absolutely! I've got big ol' thumbs and have no problems whatsoever. I've got zero complaints about this case!

I've dropped it a few times and my phone has been fine. clearly If you drop it screen down into gravel with out a screen protector on the phone, it may crack. The phone sits down into the case so if dropped on your floor your screen will be fine. As for the oils, I'm not sure. the sides of the case are plastic and the rest is like a dense silicone rubber, I know its stain resistance and the oil from your skin will not show on the case.

It does muffle the amount of audible volume from the device, but it does it's job really well. I work in construction sites without fear of dust, dirt, water, spilled coffee or soft drinks. The case itself is not as grippy as the Otterbox Defender, and both are equal in terms of bulk when wearing the holster on your belt. The most outstanding quality of this case is the fact that you can submerge the case and still have a working phone. I hope this answers your question.

I have only had this case for a few days so i cannot speak for any rubbing. The case feels slightly tacky to the touch. I would not call it "rubberized". I would tend to describe this case as a hard case. So far, i like it quite well. Hope this review helps.

It is not "grabby" like the otter-box. It is smooth but not slippery. I have not had an issue with the texture. I LOVE the life-proofs. (Makes my kids phones indestructible.) The case is not slippery in water. I don't know about oil. The only oil I use is cooking oil. I don't think it would be a problem, but I usually wipe my hands before using my phone.

its not a type of rubber that attracts a lot of dust and debris.its not a sticky type of rubber.it does give you a secure feeling when holding it in your hand.

I have used an aerosol electronic dust cleaner and sprayed the iPhone and the screen of the otterbox and that seemed to clear up the oily look. Same for the otterbox on my iPad. Hope this helps!

it does have fingerprints. but thats something i dont mind because i expect something that gets handled by fingers and hands would have marks of my fingers. very simple to clean so its not something i would complain about. as far as sharp edges it does ot. i wear dress pants to work and are very thin and never had a problem. opening the case posesess no hazard to me

We've bought 3 different colors of these cases and they all have a rubberized feel, they are plastic, but with a rubber type coating, not slick. Hope that helps.
