The shell is not completely made of silicone, the whole back part seems to be made of plastic, but this does not bother me. Although the scratched plastic faster than it would do the silicone but the most important thing is that the iPhone is protected. And that is so, the case fits very closely and also the covered buttons can be Super operate in full with the silicone. And that the casing is sometime scratched, speaks that you then can order one of the most beautiful cases and at the price should not be a problem :-)
