Sturdy plastic with plenty of rubber grip strips along the entire length of the back, two sides and the front egde surrounding the phone's face.

The lines are rubber, while the remainder is smooth plastic - so you mild to moderate grip.

The rubber lines on the hard plastic case help absorb shock when the phone is dropped.

Protection wise, this case is great, but I wish they put lesser rubber lining on the back or match it with the color of the hard plastic

Problem is, hard plastic is slippery- this case solves that too by adding grippy strips to the back

Now the plastic along the bottom is breaking off leaving a nasty sharp surface behind and the edge of the phone unprotected.

The plastic at the bottom, between the speaker opening and lower right corner cracked and broke free

Protection wise, this case is great, but I wish they put lesser rubber lining on the back or match it with the color of the hard plastic

Plastic that is welded together has come loose and the case will no longer stay on the phone

The plastic at the bottom, between the speaker opening and lower right corner cracked and broke free

On my otterbox and many cases the plastic near the holes for headphnes and charger all broke

The rubber rim around the front protects the screen and the hard plastic rim around the camera prevents scratches

Case has worn very well, as the black rubber has protected the plastic from scratches.

If the hard plastic shell continued all the way around the perimeter, this damage would not have happened

Like the feel of the solid plastic and grip

After a few falls the solid plastic exterior did crack, but the phone never got damaged and the silicon underneath still keep the phone in place

And id say after about 1.5 years of rough use, the plastic may stay to crack in the weak spots and youll have to replace it

I was worried that the smooth plastic would bother me, given that I've always had hard rubber cases and like them, but the rubber strips give it that feel, for sure

its damage/slightly cracked the plastic a bit

The only criticism I have is that they should have put the grippy nubbins all along the sides of the phone including the very center of the two sides where it is now just smooth, slippery plastic.

he loves it and loves the grip back as it doesn't slip now.

I love this Speck phone cover as it has a nice grip to it when you're holding it, not slippery like some cases.

The rubber grips on the sides and back make for easily holding the phone, as well as keeping it from sliding on a slippery surface

Thrilled with the case and I also love the black and white color as it is easy to spot when I put it down.

I was riding a subway train in NY and using the phone one handed when I realized that when the train stopped short I did not have to suddenly grip the phone... it stayed in my hands and did not slide down into the tracks as I had always feared

But the rubber ridges add a nice grip while holding, as well as on a smooth surface so you don't have to worry about it sliding anywhere.

n’t expecting absolute perfection

YOU WON’T REGRET IT!!!
