Is the back at all textured, or smooth as glass? Any sound when you scratch it with a fingernail?

Yea it is a lil textured which was something I was worried about bc I wanted clear but I actually liked the textured look. For the price it's worth a try. As far as the scratchy sound I don't remember. I've upgraded to the 5s and if it did make a sound it isn't enough for me to remember lol. Give it a try! :)

The back is clear plastic. It's smooth so you're not able to scratch it with your nail, unless they're as sharp as a piece of glass. But when I got it, the back had a big crack on it

It's matte. It makes a sound but it is smooth and you can clearly see a picture if you were to put it in the back of your phone. :)

It's smoothe clear plastic. When I ordered it however it had a few scratches

The back is clear, smooth plastic, no audible sound is made when scratch(think of it as like a white board).

The back of the cover is smooth, but the edges have a rubbery texture. I find it much easier to hold on to than it was without the cover.

I've had no worries about it scratching the screen. I have no scratches and I don't feel that it's abrasive when it glides across the screen.

Dear Chris, it is extremely smooth on the back. I myself, have heavyweight items attached so I needed to screw it in. Good luck, have a great and blessed day!

Well it is very soft from the back it can slip out of your hand but my iPod has fallen 2times it does not have one scratch.

It's not textured but it has a rubber type feel. So it is smooth but you will find that it grabs your fingers. Oil will make anything slippery but I have swam with this case and did not lose grip.

I don't notice mine doing either of those things... especially scratch... I guess it could show fingerprints on the back but the front has texture.

No, the back and sides are slightly textured - I've had no problems with it being slippery.

For the most part fingerprints are minimal, looks more like a smudge if hands are dirty, it behaves pretty much like the original glass screen w/o any protector at all. It is glass, you will get some smudging but fingerprints & smudges wipes clean even if u use ur palm. No, not anti-glare, but neither is the original screen. I can say that I will never use another film protector again...its wonderful!

It is smooth. I do not know anything about painting, but I think it might be difficult. No texture to it though.

Not really. The matte look doesn't show many of the bumps and bruises from normal wear. I have scratched the back with my nail plenty of times also and there's no sign of damage. Aside from normal wear, no it does not.

It's not scratchy, but sturdy like a canvas. The back side is a water resistant vinyl or something similar.

It seems polished, quite smooth. I doubt that would be an issue. (I have it in a thin elago case, so with that it's a moot point.)

Just went out to my garage to check it out. It's def an eggshell type feel. Not smooth like the underside of it. Hope that helps.

It is slightly gloss but more matte, there is a tiny shine to it but nothing that will reflect or anything. It is not easy to scratch but not hard either. With a knife you could easily scratch it, with a fingernail, not so much. I would say on a scratch resistance scale it is about a 7 of 10. If you are not sure whether to buy this let me just say you won't be displeased. It's by far the highest quality vinyl wrap on the market and totally worth the price...

It is a relatively hard plastic but not stiff enough to feel scratchy on the screen. Works with or without a screen protector.

It is not a soft gel, nor is it hard and smooth. Sort of a thin, textured shell. Very nice to grip, and fits perfectly.
