Is it really aluminium? or plastic

If it is aluminium it is REALLY thin. To me it seems more like cheap plastic. The corners crack very easy and once they crack they will break off when you put it in your pocket or it gets caught on anything.

It's thin aluminum. It's a great case if you like to carry your phone in your pocket. I was relieved to get rid of my old bulky case. I'm surprised to read the comments bc I've had mine for months, dropped it etc. and it won't break. What I love is that it is hard to get the phone out of the case!!!!! It doesn't fall out ever. It looks like an iPhone should. Shows off it's sleekness !

Most of it is silver plastic - the center piece on the back is brushed metal. It is very nice looking for the price.

I think it's both. My husband has a small dent on the back right above the shiny chrome that runs down the side. I don't think plastic would dent. It is the best phone for a person who likes putting it in your pocket all the time.

It's made of aluminium...I thought it was wrought iron when I purchased it.

It is a really heavy durable material, i don't think it is aluminium. Really easy to clean if sprayed with oil and flour sprinkled onto it.

It looks like metal, but seems to be plastic. You can't tell by looking at it. We like it.

Honestly, I can't tell. It doesn't look like plastic though. We've enjoyed it, it is very nice.

It is aluminum and thin. I used it about an hour on a thin plastic table cover. Didn't even get warm.

Pretty much all aluminum, with some plastic bits. I'm very pleased with it.

It is definitely Aluminium, the magnet doesn't lie. I went back to open sights so if you want to try it out a little cheaper I just listed the one I bought for $80 on amazon.

I believe it is aluminum but not sure. I have had no problems with mine and use it a lot.

It is aluminum. I somehow got some few small dings where it exposes it a little and it is clearly aluminum. If you update to Windows 8.1 you are going to need to download the drivers directly from Acer. I had many bugs and getting the new drivers they are fixed.

It's plastic. We have been very happy with it. We have had it a few months, and before that had a conair for about 9 years. Good product for the price point.

It is not plastic, it is metal. But I would not recommend it anyway. The metal main body cracked on me. I do not know why - I did not overload it at all. I just noticed once that there was a crack there. It is still usable, but I will buy another.

Hi, YES it is metal. I would think it will last longer and be better than plastic. I would change.

It is mostly plastic, except the aluminum around the start button and the bottom of the keyboard appears to be metal. Great little computer. I love mine.

I would say not aluminum because I was rough with mine a couple of times and it started to rust.

It's like this big hunk of cast aluminum I think. Definitely metal. It's not a cheap piece of plastic or anything like that.

Its plastic and metal. Mine did not survive indoor use even, so I would not recommend it for outdoor use.. Or not recommend it at all.
