Is the back of this case actually aluminum? And is it patterned at all? It looks like it in the pictures.

it IS patterened like the pictures, the sides are clear, perhaps clear aluminum, but it looks plastic-y, but I'm not gonna break it to find out. it's very durable though, I've fumbled my phone and ended up tossing it perhaps 10 feet onto concrete and the phone and case survived with nary a scratch

It is not aluminum. Feels like plastic. Has a machined circular patern/texture expanding from the center outwards.

No it is not, It is a hard rubber like material that looks like carbon. this case is real nice, it's not bulky and has a nice feel in your hand.

Idon't have an idea. I thought it was but I've never seen an original case so I can't say if it is or isnt. What I can say is that this doesnt feel as "high quality" as the products Google normally does.

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.

Yes it is but a lot slicker and sleek design. I like this case because it still makes the phone look thin. So it has the rubber inside and then a thick outside case. I'm not sure what the outside is made of. Sorry I hope this helps.

The back of the model I got is hard plastic and seems pretty scratch resistant. I do have one scratch on it, but it's not obvious. Overall it's a good ipad protector.UPDATE: Oh dang - I just looked closer at the back of my case. it IS metal after all, not plastic as I thought. It does have a very minor scratch. As another person said, the raised tabs on the corners generally keep the back off of whatever you set it on. It's a good design.

It has the same interior design on the inside back; a grid design. But it does not have the corner protection of the Tough Armor. That would be difficult to do with the plastic retaining band in place. I find it to be a decent case that looks good and has protected my 5s from drops onto wood, tile, and concrete. It has performed very well, and despite the abuse it has not lost its visual appeal. I routinely get compliments on the case.

I have the black one, and it appears to be metal. The case, as a whole, feels good and sturdy.

The case is basically made of rubber with a faux leather back. It is a sturdy as a bumper case, but not on the same level as an otterbox or something like that.

The back is not flat there is like two bumps on the back but the case is very protective I have the same case and me and my friends can throw it across the room with out worrying

Yes, there is a logo on the back. Exactly like the in the picture. It is a bit glossy as opposed to the rest of the case which is a matte finish.

It is not aluminum case, its plastic with "metal coating", so the answer is NO.

Yes it is, i bought it for my sister in law who had just gotten one, as a side note there is enough room to put a silicone case under it for protection since its metal. hope this helps!

Mine has the logo on it as well but it's really not gaudy or anything IMO. I really like the case for the price.

Hello, The case actually is a 'tweed' type pattern with a mix of brown and gray undertones. Hope this helps

The picture here does not appear to be the same case. Mine totally encloses my iPhone. The one in the picture is different. It looks like it just slips on the back.

The soft rubber matte part of the case is the most pure form of red. Like this -> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/43/Red_flag.svg The back aluminum is more of a pinkish hue. Similar to this -> http://www.stockfreeimages.com/Brushed-red-metal-thumb5808561.jpg Maybe just a little less pink.
