The rubber has sepperated from the plastic, the plastic has been falling apart

It doesn't have the same grippiness of the CandyShell Grip, and the plastic is dull and slippery.

Hard plastic.

Im not sure if the people who ordered cases and got the wrong cutout or cheap plastic were authentic speck cases.

I have had this case for less than a week, the plastic feels cheap, I dismissed that initially as just being the feel of the new materials, but now the rubber part is peeling EVERYWHERE, buttons, the grip on the back, the edge around the screen

Also, the plastic had a strange sweet chemical smell to it

Excellent - I like the grip of this cover
