How does back matte texture of the case feel? Is it similar to the soft touch rubbery texture on the back of a black Nexus 5?

It's pretty similar, but I feel like the back of the black Nexus 5 feels a bit better in the hand. But they're similar enough that you won't be too bothered by the difference.

It is pretty smooth, but not slick, like shiny plastic. The small parts of case where buttons are feel more rubbery, but rest of case is smooth and will slide into your back pocket easily.

I got the matte which only covers the back with the sides/edges being the same smooth material as the smooth case. I haven't had issues with grip or being too slippery but I do prefer the matte as far as how secure it feels in my hands.

Gloss Clear vs Matte Black. Are both material identical in stiffness and thus protection? Or is one softer? And is one grippier than the other? Does clear look OK with the black phone (subjective)? Thanks in advance for any help.

It's hard like the white Nexus 5. However, it's not the same texture as the white Nexus 5. At these prices, they're all pretty much all hard cases but semi-flexible.

It has an almost matte finish feel on the top and bottom (black portion) but the rest is slippery-ish plastic. I have not had issues with it slipping around in my hand too badly and I have dropped it once and it did very well to protect the corners. It is not rubbery feeling.

Yes it does have. If you have a black nexus due to the chrome finish on top it add a nice touch. Many people wonder which phone I have when I use this case. Planning to order one for more with different color option in future.

It has a light texture. I wrapped the smooth back of my phone with it for looks but it adds a nice bit of texture for a better grip.

The case feels very muck like the N5 black's body. It has a little grip, but at the same time is slick enough to not look all marred up, etc.

I would say yes has sort of rubber feel too it! I dropped my cell phone that was the end of that other wise i really liked it!

It's not a nonslip backing and compared to a silicon case this textured case doesn't move around as easily..it feels good in your hand unlike the rubberized cases you will enjoy holding the phone in your hand and you will find that's your fingers will move around the surface.. it just feels good.

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.

It doesn't stick to anything that I've found...the back surface is slightly textured so it makes the phone easier to grip. The black corners feel like silicone and protect it but don't seem to stick either. It's well worth the price.

It looks similar to the back of the Nexus 5 (though not exactly) and feels ever so slightly more smooth than the Nexus 5 back. That being said, it's the only case I've tried that preserves the contoured feel of the Nexus 5.

It feels like a hard case but flexible, definately not like a jelly case. Hope this makes sense!

I won't beat around the bush but yeah, at times. But personally I really love the smooth feel. If you prefer a more textured feel then I'm afraid this case is not for you.

The back is a smooth texture. Depending on your hand size, the phone may be easy to operate with one hand. I have large hands and the case allows me to have a better handle on the phone.
