Is this an aluminum case or steel case? I hear it flexes when the side panels are taken off.

It is sturdy i did get one that needed a bit of tweaking to get the case aligned, but the case setup really well and was easy to build in.

Yes it's made of aluminum and yes it flexes a tad, but once the machine is completely built with power supply, mobo, optical drives, etc., that's a non-issue. I've used these cases for six custom builds so far without problems. Note: As a custom builder I wouldn't worry about "flexing" when you remove a side panel, I mean, after all, how often are you going to be yanking the machine apart once it's built?

It is aluminum, however i feel it is very sturdy, with one side panel off it is a tad bit flexible but not all that bad, with both off it will flex it a bit, I have this case and also the same case that is in black with the red front panel and we love them both!

I would say it is steel - not a heavy steel at all - very little flex, no more than any of my other cases.

It's definitely steel but it does flex slightly. Its a great case as long as you don't have heat sinks or memory clips that get in the way of the top fans. The fans are slightly in the way for mine but I made it work just fine.

Metalic case with soft rubber coating on the sides, plastic front on main panel. Very well made, quality build.

Case frame and side panels are steel, top and front panel are multi layer foam/plastic. Very solid construction.

This was for my son and this is his reply; The sides are reinforced with a harder plastic on the outside edges, however the top and bottom are purely silicone. You do need to know how to put it on correctly and I would caution that the texture film of the hard case is quite prone to peeling at the edges.

The back is back (design part) is hard plastic but it bends, the bumpers area little softer. The case over all is very sturdy, and they are really easy to take off but never COME off unintentionally.

It is fairly light, so I would suspect it is aluminum or an aluminum alloy.

It's a flexible jelly case. Believe me you won't regret buying it. It's worth more than $10.

very durable. The side panel is made of matte steel. front and top panel is made from plastic with a touch of rubbery feel to it. Just be careful with the harddrive caddy. It tends to break easily. Overall it an awesome case

Aluminum is just the back rectangle that shows in the picture. Sides, top and bottom are plastic.

It's plastic. I've never seen metal laptop case. I don't think that would be too good for the electric components.

It is aluminum, my ol one was just a rubber grommet with a insert. The insert melted on overheating. This one works the same way!

It is metal and lightweight. So I assume it is aluminum. But I'm not certain, sorry.

I believe it was aluminum, It was quite sturdy until the canopy was filled up with water. That is when the frame broke....in many places.

It's a thick-feeling metal, I'm not sure if it's steel or aluminum but it's very sturdy and feels heavy in your hand. Works great!

It is not aluminum case, its plastic with "metal coating", so the answer is NO.
