Most of the case is thin Metal and not aluminum (I just checked mine and a magnet sticks to it and so that proves it's steel) The majority of the front panel is this new textured plastic and kindof neat really. Even though a little thin it's really very nice indeed and I like it better than the more expensive versions of this case. I have bought Three of them so far (edit, now Four) When you look at the front of the case, the whole grill section where the Corsair emblem is mounted to the middle is metal, but all the rest of the front is a new process of texture plastic. That whole front cover actually can be removed since it snaps and locks in, but it can come out and I did it... not that you need to take it out. The only other thing that's plastic is the HD trays themselves but that's fine really, we have no problem with any of this since afterall when I bought mine they were $59 here and actually it was one year ago near Black Friday. Check out the history of the price of this case here: http://camelcamelcamel.com/Corsair-Carbide-Mid-Tower-Computer-CC-9011014-WW/product/B006I2H0YS (edit) fwiw, I see NewEgg has a sale on them today too for $69, BUT, with using promo code EMCYTZT4888 gives another $5 off , and they also give a $20 rebate form (which is a royal p.i.t.a though), the final cost is $44.95 ...I just bought another one :) Normally I Always prefer to buy Amazon, they are the best allround!

I'm not sure what the spec is on it, but it's pretty light. I'm assuming it to be made of aluminum.

It has aluminum case on top, but I am not sure about bottom. I would say it is probably plastic.

The case itself is very lite ,you think it would be made of heavier material but its not, but the case is very durable

The back of the case is plastic with a finely dotted silver finish. The trim and the bottom edge are metal, from what I can tell.

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

It's hard plastic and rubber. I have dropped my tablet several times and had no damage at all not even to the case

I don't know what kind of metal it is but aluminum is lightweight and this seems heavier to me.

No, it is a lightweight aluminum. Pretty durable, my son and I have definitely put it to the test.

It's metal, actually made of aluminum. It's really lightweight stuff. No too bulky and works very well. :-)

Doesn't say what kind metal on pkg. Its very light so my guess is aluminum but it is very sturdy

I think it's aluminum, just because of how light it is, and I think I tried to get a magnet to stick to it with no luck. Whatever it is it's quite heavy duty, but doesn't weigh too much.

Plastic and rubber. For me this is the nicest case I have bought for my S5. It's much thinner than a otterbox.

It is a very light composite material (I assume there is some plastic in there). There is also a thin layer of rubber on the inside of the case as well as rubbery corners to take the impact if you do drop the phone.

The case is plastic but it seems like metal. The cooling ribs are metal. Very well designed and sturdy build.

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 !
