Laura, I'm not sure whether or not it's made of steel, but, having used this for a few months now, I can definitively say that it is a SOLID product and way better than any of the cheaper ones I've had in the past. It's pricey, but well worth it.

It's both plastic and steel. The clamp that holds your phone is plastic and the rest is metal. Very sturdy. It takes considerable force to open the metal attachment clamp which results in it staying wherever you attach it. I use the smaller plastic clamp part everyday. No issues so far.

I have the black one, and it appears to be metal. The case, as a whole, feels good and sturdy.

It's made of plastic, honestly the case is really flimsy. My case had a crack in it. However the hardware is very good. I don't store anything in the case. I just placed it neatly in my toolbox with my other lathe stuff.

Its plastic not metal. Not very well made as they say. I should have read all the answers.

Steel, I believe. The case is probably stronger than the lock that comes with it.

It feels somewhat like metal but a bit too light to be real steel. I believe it may be some sort of poly carbonate material (really sturdy I might add) with some metal accents. I know for sure that the bottom of the laptop is plastic though.

This case is made from plastic and not glass. It is transparent but not like looking through glass more like looking through brand new, unscratched and clear plastic. I hope you know the difference.

it is the magnetic. I had a similar case for 6 months, but a plastic piece broke when I dropped it from my lap. never had a problem with that one. I think this magnet was just too strong.

It's definitely metallic, could be iron, whatever it is it feels dense (heavy). Magnets stick to it so it makes sense that it would be iron.

The face of the case is aluminum, but most of the case is steel. But the case is fully painted looks great inside and out.

The black panel of the M8 case is made of a brushed aluminum type metal. I have a back case cover of military grade clear special material that I ordered online. Fits perfectly and does not detract from the gold goal or back that I got on my M8 phone. It also protects against strong drops.

You might need to show us what case it is so I could help you. But you just said "this case came up", I was like "what case?" At least post a picture what the case look like or give me the link/website to the case. :)

Corners, top, bottom and inside of case is a rubber material. The middle 80% is a hard plastic (blue) but almost resembles metal. I think the case protects the phone pretty well. It does not protect the face in anyway but I bought screen protectors for that. It does come with one screen protector but I wanted more and installed the other not the one with the case, no particular reason thats just how it happened. Hopefully this helps, it is a good value IMO and I have paid more for lesser cases that is for sure.
