Is the back and sides of the case Rubber or Hard-shell?

I'd say its more hard-shell, but it doesn't feel like it will break. I really like this case - I've bought 2.

It's a hard rubber all the way around. Probably the best case I've ever used.

It is a hard case, and mine cracked easily with a slight drop. I had to replace it.

The back is slick and not rubberized. Actually, the entire case has a smooth feel.

No, the case has soft sides and a firm bottom panel. Its a nice case, but its not hard.

Both. There are 2 pieces to it. An inner gel/silicon case, and then the hard shell part. It is a really cozy hug around the phone. Protects the back, sides, and the screen (or at least the most common place for a crack to appear). Hope this helped.

The entire case is rubber, but there is a metal piece inset in the back of the case that they print on. It's a hard grippy rubber all around the sides and it extends over the front slightly to protect the glass. I've had mine for several months and I've been really happy with it.

If you mean the rubber pcs from the bottom to prevent slipping, yes it is. If you mean the case is a little rubbery then no its a shell like case. Its great if you want my opinion been using it for 4 months now.

This case has 2 layers. It's rubber and then you put the hard plastic part on the back. The corners are rubber and the buttons. Hope this is what you're looking for.

Hey Mel,Yes, the sides of the case are like a gel, whereas, the back of the case is hard clear plastic. You will like it!

It's like a soft plastic.... Hard to describe. It's not a hard case, but not rubbery. I really like it!

Most of the shell is hard plastic, but all the colored trim parts are softer (I assume it is rubber). The raised lip that rims the screen is rubber, as are the corners, which protects it if you drop it on the corners. I have, and it bounces.

It is a hard rubber. It doesn't snap on - you actually fit the phone into the case and it attaches securely but still has a slight rubbery feel to it. It is great. I highly recommend it!

Yes, it is a hard shell with a somewhat rubbery texture so there is some grip to it.

Both. There is an S pattern on the back and part of it feels like plastic and the other part like rubber.

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.

The case is basically made of rubber with a faux leather back. It is a sturdy as a bumper case, but not on the same level as an otterbox or something like that.

I selected the green case and it is a shiny hard plastic, not at all rubbery. Only the keypad cover is rubbery (and sometimes a little difficult to use).
