No grip at all. I have the clear and the smoke. The clear is slippery but the smoke has a nice matte texture to it that is kinda hard to describe, but is miles better than the clear case. The pictures really are no comparison to what it is like in your hands. If you want a case that doesn't feel like there is a case on, this is it. The wife took this case from me but I think I'm gonna have to buy another just so I can have one. I'll probably get a skin to put under the shell to differ the phones but yeah it's a great case.
Don't ask for pics cause there are already up here and it really is better when u actually get it.
