is this a gel case or a hard case?

its not a gel case... it has like a clear plastic in the back and a harder plastic on the edges... it did everything I wanted it too.. minimalist feel with protection all around and raises on the screen portion to prevent scratches..

Hard, its very hard and after a few days the back part gets all scratched up.

It's a hard case (view part), the sides are are made out of rubber, but the rubber is not soft. It's a great case I had no problems with it, and it still maintains the phones sleek appeal.

It is a hard case. Most of the reinforcement is along the edges. It has a stone black appearance, very sleek and nice!

it's got a rigid piece of clear plastic on the back and a rubbery, but pretty rigid surround.

It's a soft case, the installation and removing process is fairly easy. The case itself is a soft-rubber like silicone. Way easier than a snap on case or a Otterbox.

it's a combo of both. The soft plastic surrounds the phone and the hard case snaps over the soft. Sorry for my first answer...I had another product in mind.

It has a soft inter shell made of soft silicon wrap or gel and an outer hard protective shell. It is a very good case.

No. It's a hard case, even though gel makes you think rubber-ish. It is one piece, not like the rubber/hard case like the otter box. I've had it a week now and I realize I really do like it as well as my otter box I had with my iPhone 4.

It's not hard plastic and it's not super soft like silicon, it's in-between. It's definitely not a hard plastic though, not like most of those 2 piece cases I've seen.

Don't know about protective gel. Case is one piece that snaps over phone that leaves a rubber like surface surrounding the edge of phone completly. Not just four corners.

The back is hard w/silicone inserts.Works well to keep it from sliding around on hard surfaces.Sides and port plugs are silicone.Its a good case...protects well.

I would call it a hard case covered in cloth. It isn't a gig bag but it isn't an old fashioned hard case either. Maybe it is considered a semi hard case.

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.

Don't know about the protective gel. It's a case that snaps on the back of the phone and covers all four corners.

Yes, it's a hard case with zippered sides and a Velcro-attached flap on top. It's very good and totally protects my camera, which I carry with me all the time. I highly recommend it.

It's soft jelly. The only problem I encountered was that the "clear" color turned yellow in a few months. I really wanted the clear case to stay clear.

Not likely. I think "gel" doesn't really describe the case. It's fairly hard.

it is supposed to be a soft case. if you get a hard case, it is a counterfeit.
