Huh, I haven't seen cases like this before. 90% of what you see is just rubbery plastic.
You say you like the material because it's light and thin. How does it do when dropped and is it grippy when you leave it on a slippery surface like balanced on a satin pillow (or a pile of dirty clothes :) )?
It's somewhere in the middle. I wouldn't call it grippy but it's not slippery either. It's much more grippy than the phone itself for sure.
I tend to drop my phone more often then I'd like. The corners of the case did get scuffed from heavier drops. You can see the carbon-fiber-esque material revealing a stronger plastic beneath but there is no structural damage to the case and it has protected the phone. In my case with the S23 ultra the side rails could be better protected, that's the only visible damage on the phone itself. The anodised metal has a bit of scuffing from a drop. I do use a screen protector which has also taken its fair share of abuse.
Compared to how thin and light it is, I'm quite happy with the setup. Of course something like an otterbox is gonna give more protection, but won't be as sleek and nice.
