The design isn't anything to rave about but the case is slightly appealing and doesn't have that 'cheap plastic' look

Does the trick and covers the phone securely, however it is made of pretty cheap plastic so you get what you pay for

Cheap crappy plastic

I only gave 4 stars because the hard plastic cracked in two places while putting it on (it's a pretty tight fit)

but it was more of hard plastic.

The plastic easily breaks, leaving sharp corners.

Although the case does look cute, the plastic is cheap and I think it could break easily.

plastic on side is broken.

The case is shiny hard plastic and doesn't have any sort of grip

I loved this case and it did it's job for about a year, then the hard plastic just started cracking, bending and breaking off.

There's a soft squishy insert and a hard plastic outside.

The plastic underneath the hard case feel really cheap n hard not like the nice soft gel kind

I also like the fact that the soft gray part is separate from the hard plastic turquoise part

The case looks beautiful, but it's very cheap plastic

First, the plastic is a hard cheap plastic that cracks easily, it does not move well to insert your phone into it too small for the iPhone 5

Hard plastic case.

I've also cracked the hard plastic attempting to remove the case, but thanks to the rubber sides the crack doesn't spread, preventing pieces of this phone coming off

This phone case is not made out of a good material (weak plastic) that can withstand dropping

Essentially, it seems like the plastic part is just your classic plastic case that will break if dropped; but the dark purple rubber lining (sorry I don't know a better way to describe it) seems to provide extra protection and absorb shock

The hard case is slick plastic

Hard plastic and rubberized parts don't have nice seams.

The plastic underneath the hard case feel really cheap n hard not like the nice soft gel kind

I'm giving it three stars because the first case was great and lasted a long time with minimal paint wear, but the second case was absolute garbage and it was super cheap plastic, unlike the first one

The black portion is hard plastic which I thought might be more rubbery

Essentially, it seems like the plastic part is just your classic plastic case that will break if dropped; but the dark purple rubber lining (sorry I don't know a better way to describe it) seems to provide extra protection and absorb shock

The outside feels like hard plastic while the inside is a softer silicone to protect the phone

The plastic is fairly brittle.

This phone case is not made out of a good material (weak plastic) that can withstand dropping

and I like that it is a thicker/harder plastic that doesn't have much give to it

Cute but the sides are hard plastic, not rubber, which does not protect your phone from shocks like dropping

I used to have an otterbox case but the plastic kept breaking on it, so I thought I'd try something else

Only problems are that its hard to put on/take off and the hard plastic broke

The grey part is flexible plastic at best, not absorbent rubber like you'll find with a quality case.

The bits of the case at the top and bottom that aren't hard plastic have gotten a little discolored and there are some small chips in the paint at the corners and shallow scratches on the back

It seems thick enough to protect but at the same time the plastic feels stiff and may crack/scratch when dropped

It only lasted 3 weeks then the plastic broke.

There is a mold line for the rubber portion right where your ear goes, that created a ridge, also the edges of the hard plastic part there were both sharp enough that it really irritated my ear when talking on the phone

This one fit very securely, with an inner rubber piece and an outer hard plastic shell

Cheap, hard plastic outer shell came way too close to scratching my phone.

I loved this case and it did it's job for about a year, then the hard plastic just started cracking, bending and breaking off.

The case is shiny hard plastic and doesn't have any sort of grip

There's a soft squishy insert and a hard plastic outside.

This is a "hybrid" case made of hard and rubberized plastic

My only issue is that with it being smooth plastic on the back, bottom and along one side, it is a bit more difficult to hold & use one handed than my old otter box or to try to prop up by leaning it against something.

Hard plastic around the edge so a piece broke off at some point.

Its plastic on the lighter purple witch is hard to hold onto

After using for a week, we found that the plastic is hard and brittle, and doesn't absorb shock like it should when a phone is dropped...it may be best to look for another case if you are reading this...

and the plastic is breaking of irreparably

The hard plastic has sharp edges which are not entirely flush with the rubberized surfaces and catch on my skin

However, where the hard plastic meets the rubber on the top corner cracked with in 2 months with no drops and then broke completely off with in another two weeks

The "silicone" part is more like soft plastic, but it works perfectly

Also, the picture of the case deceivingly looks as if it is a 2 part case (soft rubber/tough plastic cover), it is not

The hard plastic of the case (the lighter purple shade) is much lighter than what is shown on the picture.

Very sturdy, came with free stylus which was an awesome surprise, but the lip which comes up over the screen (which is necessary to protect it) is really rough plastic and hurts your ear when talking on the phone :( really a bummer because everything else about the case is great - color, fit etc

Not hard plastic over silicone more like hard plastic shell over slightly softer hard plastic inner core.

The hard plastic is kind of slippery, but a very pretty lavender color

Also Super plastic!

I like that there is a hard plastic shell on the outside of the rubber

Over the next two weeks, it developed two other cracks in the hard plastic shell and kept snagging on items

When my son pushed the button on the side to turn up the volume, part of the top corner plastic of the case broke off!

Not the durable plastic either

Very pleased with it, only thing about it is that the hard plastic is difficult to get off.

Not hard plastic over silicone more like hard plastic shell over slightly softer hard plastic inner core.

If you do manage to get the case on your phone, hopefully, you will not need to adjust the volume or lock your phone in the off position because those hard plastic buttons do not work in pressing the button on your encased phone

It has the texture on the one side and near the camera, but other than that, the plastic is smooth and can slide around easily out of pocket or hand.

Cheap , plastic , breaks easily , hard to get it off your phone without causing scratches

Very disappointed either description not clear or l failed to notice it had NO screen protection, only perimeter of the phone

The color is very pretty in person as well as in the picture

Also it takes pictures just as well as it would without the case on

Doesn’t really fit as well as it could.

It broke as soon as I tried putting it on!

n’t break it
