Does the surface "grip" to prevent sliding on hard surfaces? My Otterbox prevents sliding for placing in dash compartment with door open.

the surface grip doesnt prevent sliding, as the majority of the surface is metal. there will be some sliding so be aware.

the otterbox has a lid that opens, then the armband has holes, one of which matches the area where the headphone jack goes. It's not smooth, actually it seems like the lid will break from the pressure, but it does not. It works, but it feels like an afterthought

When I first purchased my Otter Box, the case was slippery smooth and I could easily slide it up and down. I think it's been several months since I've had my case and I've dropped it so many times that I have to struggle with opening and closing the case. I clean it every now and again because lots of dirt gets underneath the cards when I'm out and about. So it could possibly work?

No. It's claimed as a feature and I agree--the phone is very secure. You can set the amount of friction. I use it with a case on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have it adjusted to slide in and not move.

It has a rubber ring around the bottom. I have no problem with it slipping.

I haven't had any problem it doesn't shift or fall or slide at all, but my dashboard has some texture, if yours is very smooth or has a very steep slope it might, maybe?

If you smooth like glass, then my Lexus doesn't have a smooth surface dash covering. mine is the typical "snake skin" textured dash covering and the iOttie holds great. The suction cup is quite pliable so adheres to textured dash quite well. Very pleased with mine and its used to hold an Ipad Mini used as a navigation GPS.

There are grips in all four corners so it stays put. I have never had any issues with it slipping or sliding anywhere.

No, but the surface is not real slippery. It also has a clipboard clip on the side that you might clip to the left cover.

Yes, It is somewhat slippery. Not as bad as an Otterbox, but my Ballistic on an s3 was much less slippery. I have had this one barely a week and it shows signs of wear on the plastic already. At least it wasn't terribly expensive.

Not a friction fit - there are snap mounts that hold it in place. My has held solidly ever since I installed it, btw.

Yeah it does on all sides, and the plastic is matte instead of shiny. I've never had it slip out of my hands from being "too slippery."

It's got some grip but coming from an otter box I think the grip is not as good. It is far better than no case though. I only got a case in the first place because my hands are clumsy and the naked phone was very slippery in my hands. This case is sufficient but not rubbery like some others . Hope that helps

The rubber around the edges its not slippery but the solid white plastic shell is. Now the rubber that is exposed at the top and bottom of the cover helps the phone not slide around but it can slide if for example left in the dashboard of a car in a sharp turn is taken.

The sides of the case are predominately smooth. The corners have more grip with the rubbery material. The back has some traction. I can't put it on the dash and not have it fall off. I am not that tough on cell phones. The units tend to sit in my pocket or on the desk when I'm working. I hope this helps.

It makes it alot thicker, not as easy to slide in and out no. It also doesn't have a shield to protect your screen like an Otter Box has. I wouldn't suggest it.

The back of mine is slick but the sides have good grip so I haven't had an issue with it slipping out of my hands or anything. :)
