Is the bumper squishy? It says the back is hard but what about the sides?

The sides aren't really squishy or as stretchy as silicone--it's more of a tough rubber than that; but they do stretch just enough to get the phone in and out.

The protection in the back is very solid. Although it does not have the hard body protection, it is very solid in the back. the overall covering around the screen is the only questionable part. Meaning if you drop it face down, will the bumper be big enough not to crack the screen. I am confident any side impacts will be absorbed well by the case but not very confident about a frontal impact.

The case color is only on the bumper guard around the sides and corners. The back is clear. Mine also came with a screen protector, which I saved since I already had one on.

It is hard, but its soft. I love my cover. It has saved my phone numerous times! It looks bumpy, but there all even bumps with the cover so you hardly even notice it. You'll like it!

No it is hard like the backside. I have had no problem with my phone slipping but understand your concern. Hope this helps.

No the back side is flat, not concave like the front. Wheels this soft will cone easily, but they re a really smooth ride!

The clear backing is very slick however the sides have some grip on them. Hope this helps.

It's a hard case (view part), the sides are are made out of rubber, but the rubber is not soft. It's a great case I had no problems with it, and it still maintains the phones sleek appeal.

Very little lip around the front. There are bumpers to protect the side, and it is tight around the sides so it doesn't slip, and the back is fully protected, but if you have a habit of dropping your phone on its face, I'm not sure how much the bumpers will protect it. But a drop that catches a corner should be ok.

Yes, it is as good as the stock bumper. I have had no problems with it and it looks the same.

It comes with thin solid bumper unfortunately. I like padded bumpers more((

It is not grippy and sticky - more on the smooth and slippery side, but the bumper is substantial enough that I don't feel it slipping in my hands. Actually feels fairy secure.

No it doesn't squish down much, and I'm a lot heavier than 160. Very good mattress for the price, would recommend

Extremely easy. The outside bumper is just tacky enough to keep it from sliding out on it's own, but not so much to make it a pain. It's one of the favorite features of this case.

It's not extremely difficult, but the case fits on pretty tight. I would think that the bumper portion will hold up since it is now made of aluminum.

It is hard plastic on back and rubbery on sides or bumper for grip friction. I have a bad hand and this is a good case for holding.

Its not downy soft but mine is not 'stiff as a board'. Maybe someone else knows. *Always remember to search google/bing/yahoo /whatever for opinions and info.
