Is the back- with the black bumpy appearance -a softer/rubber type feel, or is that hard plastic?

It's more a hard plastic, which I feel is better if the phone is dropped. You don't feel the bumps at all. I hope this helps!

It's a textured/bumpy hard plastic. The only soft rubber that is exposed is the 4 corners and the top/bottom.:)

It is slightly softer than the sides which are hard plastic but more like a very hard and durable rubber feel

It's a soft rubber feel which would make it bounce if landing on the corner when dropped but when u drop it screen down and that's how it lands it doesn't have enough rubber around the screen it just shatters.

It is hard, but its soft. I love my cover. It has saved my phone numerous times! It looks bumpy, but there all even bumps with the cover so you hardly even notice it. You'll like it!

The back is back (design part) is hard plastic but it bends, the bumpers area little softer. The case over all is very sturdy, and they are really easy to take off but never COME off unintentionally.

It is a hard case with a slight rubbery texture on the outside...sort of a blend of the two...

Although I don't think it looks like hard rubber, it has a bit of that feel to it so there is a grip. It is not slick.

The back is textured plastic. It's hard to get dirty but if it does you can wipe it down with a moist cloth.

It is rubber on the back and is fairly smooth, however, it doesn't slip nearly as easy as without the cover. I hold it in the palm of my hand and dont worry about dropping it.

I can only speak for my S9300. It does look like smooth black rubber, but does not feel textured as in bumpy, it is smooth and a wonderful camera!

I would say that it feels rubbery. Even when it is not soft rubber (as some transparent or color cases) it is not definitively hard plastic. Having said that, I am happy with the appearance and protection offered for my SIII.

Hi Patrick,I ordered the white case and it is a smooth plastic. I'm not sure about the black one, but I did see a comparison video on YouTube and the person said they liked the black one better because of it's non slip "rubbery" feel..

It's plastic coated with smooth rubbery feel kinda like soft grip material without the sticky feel.

It's not rubbery at all. It feels plastic like. Kind of like a hard case for a cell phone.

The back is a translucent hard plastic with enough texture to improve grip. The side are soft plastic, designed to absorb bumps, nicks etc. Not a jelly case.

Don't really know which one could say but it's like a hard rubber/plastic feel to it, durable but not rock solid.

It feels like a hard plastic covered with a rubber grip. Light weight but durable.

It has an almost matte finish feel on the top and bottom (black portion) but the rest is slippery-ish plastic. I have not had issues with it slipping around in my hand too badly and I have dropped it once and it did very well to protect the corners. It is not rubbery feeling.

Rubberized appears to be a misnomer as it feels and looks like hard plastic to me. I saw the statement that it was rubberized texture too and that was one of the reasons why I bought it -- I like rubber cases. This is not that - it appears to be shiny plastic. However, it looks ok AND REALLY WORKS WELL. Dirt resistance appears good. again, its plastic if I didnt mention it before.

It has a slight rubber feel. I would still consider it a "hard" case, but it is definitely not like a hard lacquer plastic case. If placed on a glass table top, it does not slide easily, which is good for my use. I enjoy this case
