Is the back slippery on this case or does the bumper provide enough grip on slippery surfaces?

It's not overly grippy. On a smooth desk it slides pretty well but the arm of a couch, that softer material, it holds well enough. If I had to rate it from 1 to 10, 1 being moves like a skate on ice and ten takes he-man like powers to push it, I'd give it a 4. Feels a little like an air hockey puck without the air on.

The bumper does provide grip on the sides to hold unto or to put it between things to remain still. The back doesn't do much in terms of grip/slip-resistance.

Its very smooth but the grip is just fine. I really love this case. Its very tight though.

The back of the case has a smooth finish on it so if you were to set it on you dashboard there's a good possibility it would slide off when taking curves, that being said if you worried about the phone sliding out of your hand I wouldn't worry too much, I'm a pretty consistent runner and I haven't dropped my phone yet while out on a run.. Hope this helps!

It is hard plastic on back and rubbery on sides or bumper for grip friction. I have a bad hand and this is a good case for holding.

It's smooth but not slick. I purchased the case because it won't slip off things I set it on.

Some grip, maybe. Not quite sure as I haven't put it on a surface where it may slip off. The back of the cover does seem a little more slip protectant than the rest of the phone. This morning my phone fell out of my lap onto the concrete. I picked it up, looked at my phone and case, and it was unscathed.

The back of the phone is somewhat smooth. Before I got the cover, it slid off the dash of my car and hit the garage concrete floor. The cover does provide some grip, better than the phone alone with no case. However, it is not an extreme grip if that is what you were looking for, but does provide some grip protection, more than with no case at all. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, design on the back is prominent. The case actually is smooth buy rubbery. It is not slippery.

Yes it is slippery but a very good case to protect the phone. The defender series has rubber on the outside instead of the plastic like the commuter so that would be better.

Slippery was what I was trying to avoid as well. The Neo - Hybrid has done well. The case has a high quality rubberish feel. It is slim yet sturdy. Without the slippery feel. It doesnt feel slippery at all. Its a definite go!

Not slippery at all. Good grip. I've already dropped my phone twice and nothing happened to my phone or the case. I also got one of those glass screen protectors works good with the case, it doesn't get messed up by it.

Very little lip around the front. There are bumpers to protect the side, and it is tight around the sides so it doesn't slip, and the back is fully protected, but if you have a habit of dropping your phone on its face, I'm not sure how much the bumpers will protect it. But a drop that catches a corner should be ok.

Not slippery. Great case, good protection for your ipod. I would recommend it.

"semi" the phone it's for is somewhat slippery itself... but it's still is a nice case.... some people may have more traction on their hands then others, so guess that somewhat depends.But the back side is slippery to me a little bit of the sides of it.

No it does not feel slippery at allDue to the texture of the case, a person can get a nice firm grip without fear of dropping the device.

Yes, it is smooth and slippery. I'm still using mine on my ipod touch. It's a snug fit, too. No complains here.

Its kind of a little slick. The bumper guards on the sides are very grippy, but when lying flat on the back it will slide

Hi Susan L. It might be slippery because of its glossy design. The case is made of lightweight, flexible TPU.

I have never had issues with the grip. There are tiny indentations all over the back of the case that provide some grip.
