What type of material is the case? Is it a) hard plastic, b) soft-feeling plastic, or c) a silicone/rubberized material?

It's a hard plastic but it's flexible. I like it because when I drop my phone, it bounces. The case doesn't crack off it really protects it like a silicon case. What I also like is that while it protects like a silicon case, it doesn't stretch out like one. It's my favorite type of case, I have 4;)

I suspect it is a soft case. I've never had one and it is still fine years later. I like mine.

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

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.

Its not a silicone cover. It's a hard plastic shell, it's nice and protects your computer very well. The outside of the cover feels soft like silicone. You won't go wrong purchasing this case! I've had mine for over a year!

Not soft. Hard but flexible plastic. No screen protector. I do like the case a lot. No problems at all. I have dropped my phone a couple times so far. No issues

TPU is the material of the case.. it is a kind of soft plastic.. Stronger than silicone but softer than plastic.. The case is only one piece.

It's a soft plastic case all one piece. It's not like the hard plastic ones that come in 2 pieces that you snap together. It's very easy to put on and very easy to take off if necessary.

It is hard plastic that has a rubberized feel. It's not very thick and might not do much for protection.

I believe the case is plastic but it does feel rubbery. I happened to drop my phone the other day and it had somewhat of a small bounce and it hardly made any noise. Overall the protector snuggles to the phone and it does not slip of your hand like the hard plastics. I hope this helps.

I would say that the material is overall hard plastic. The back (which is clear) is definitely hard plastic, but the hot pink portion is VERY hard rubber. I recommend this case. I've dropped my phone a few times, and I had no scratches or cracks. I'm actually using this case right now! I love how slim it is.

It isn't soft. The case is a firm plastic. The side plastic is rigid and the flex back is more like rubber, but the finish makes it look rigid. I have been very pleased with the looks of the case..I have the black one, so I can't speak for the rest.

It is like a rubber/silicone. Grip feel to the touch but it doesn't grip to your pocket like other silicone (my ipod touch has that annoying grip to everything case).

I have the indigo colored case. it is not metallic. It is a soft feel but not silicone. More like a hard plastic with a rubber coating.

It is strictly hard plastic. I'm happy with the case, and the fit is very good.

The case is plastic but it has a soft textured feel to it, not rubbery. It is not slippery. The phone definitely benefits from this case because the phone is slippery.

Plastic and rubber. For me this is the nicest case I have bought for my S5. It's much thinner than a otterbox.
