Is it a pretty forgiving rubber that will provide a fair amount of cushioning? Or is it a hard rubber/plastic that still makes a "bang"? Thanks!

It's soft enough not to give the sharp bang you're thinking about. It is commercial grade, you've seen them in offices and other places.

It's pliable. Think of it as a thin layer of ultra clear flexible vinyl. It has a slight rubbery texture (which I like) and seems to have a bit of impact absorption.

It definitely has some cushion to it. I think you would be pleased with the quality for the price!!

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

I am not that familiar with the deck cushioning on other tread mills. I am 74 yrs. old and no longer have the bounce in my step that I use to have and it seems to be sufficient for me. Have walked on it continuously for over an hour and a half straight with no pain in my feet or legs.

It is pretty tough. I use it with boxing dummy. You should look for rubber. This is hard plastic. I would hit back of you hit me with this. Ha. Just saw they say this IS rubber. Unless I didn't even realize that when I got it, it didn't bother me.

The only "rubbery" feeling as you say is the black edge of the case. But it's a hard, dense rubber rather than soft or spongy... like what you might get on traditional phone cases. The rubber edge combined with the composite material and rear design provides a sure grip.

Not cushioned. It is hard plastic, but I found that it is quite comfortable, so no different from the hard plastic seat of our regular toilet seat.

I believe it is rubber. It is somewhat firm. I would buy another in a heartbeat.

It's not rubber. It's a synthetic plastic like material. It's very high quality.

It's very cushioning and durable. It may be a bit big to strap on motorcycle but you could probably cut it to make it fit

No it is not soft just a good rubberlike cushion that doesn't make your bottom tired when sitting a long time. When you compress it with your hand it feel soft but you don't get that soft sinking feeling when you sit on it.

No. There's no real cushioning of the drive at all. I put a SSD into it so it wasn't a concern for me. I like the super small size, but if you need protection you'll need to get something else (and probably something a bit bigger).

It appears to be a harder rubber but pliable. Provides good protection and gripe.

BTW I did forget to mention that it has a nice bounce to it .... after I posted the first answer I read the other reviews ... I stick by my assessment that it is more likesilicone than a plastic.

I wouldn't recommend it without a cushion. It is hard plastic. You could but it wouldn't be comfortable for an extended period of time.

It is cushioned but doesn't really mold to your legs although it sits comfortably on your lap. I love mine!
