No cheap feeling plastic, smooth metallic sides and no gaps or loose fitting corners.

The case is made up of two pieces, a softer, flexible covering that wraps the back and sides of the phone, and a harder plastic backplate that looks like metal, but isn't.

* The hard plastic back plate scratches and scuffs very easily

It's a good, inexpensive case but the smooth plastic is somewhat slippery and it almost flew out of my hands a few times until I got used to it.

Fits perfectly and the smooth hard plastic back makes it easy to slide into and out of my pocket where the pure rubber ones stick

like that it has the combination of the shiny metallic plastic in the middle and then the absorbent plastic on the top and bottom

Center part is cheap plastic

It is a huge hard plastic case that probably contributes to the high cost of this item.

It isn't made out of cheap plastic like some you find on here

Slim case but rough edges and cheap plastic ruin it

You can lay your phone face down with no screen contact.- I have not had any scratching to the metallic plastic back trim like others have experienced

Plastic around mute switch broke, case became useless.

cranniesObservations:- Overall feels very durable and is not cheap plastic.

Plastic back scratches easily

Another cause concern is the fact that the gray part is rubber and not a hard plastic or whatever

The material feels like smooth plastic so it slides easily in & out of a pocket, which I like

I have had the case for two weeks now and the plastic backing is scratched

Fits perfectly and the smooth hard plastic back makes it easy to slide into and out of my pocket where the pure rubber ones stick

The plastic is very cheap and scratches very easily

The inner piece is softer plastic that fits the phone snugly, while the harder wrap-around piece provides stability

The hard plastic on the outside feels almost like metal and holds it all together both stylistically and physically.

The plastic back cover does scratch super easily, but I'd much rather that get scratched than the back of my phone.

I'm happy to say the top and bottom sections (that are exposed) are more rigid (almost like a hard plastic, but not quite) and hold their shape well - and don't collect lint

The plastic backing gets scratched easy

The case material is a rubbery plastic which has a band of a harder plastic around the center - unfortunately, it makes the sides of the case slippery when you hold it in your hands

The rubber piece goes on first (easily) and then the hard plastic piece wraps around that.

For anyone that doesn’t like hard plastic cases or other materials that’ll scratch up your phone, this little two layer case is the way to go

The plastic is a bit scared but easily replaced if desired.

* The hard plastic back plate scratches and scuffs very easily

It's hard plastic in there with raised letters that cause the problem

for the price I was expecting better quality plastic.

The hard plastic on the outside feels almost like metal and holds it all together both stylistically and physically.

The case is a pretty tacky plastic

The inner part of the cover that is visible on the top and bottom is a malleable hard plastic that feels very natural and comfortable as it covers the volume and power buttons

I use an RCA cable for playing music from my iPhone on my home stereos (they're old), as well as in my car.

Power button works as if there were no case on it at all

Well the back does scratch up a

but it doesn't protect as

Really enjoying the Spigen slim armour s iphone 5 case.
