This case is listed as "rubber feel" and that's about all the rubber you get :) These tend to be my favorite cases because that little bit of soft rubber-feel gives some extra bounce if/when you drop your phone. Any hard plastic cases I have had in the past have broken when dropped. These cases are a bit more durable/flexible. It -is- a thin plastic like most cases but adds a smooth finish which I think also keeps the phone from feeling slimy like other hard plastic cases can.
