The body of this typewriter is plastic, and the carrying case made of plastic.

The case is plastic. So pretty much everything you touch will be plastic. I assume the inner workings are metal, but I'm guessing that doesn't really matter.

No the body and eraser cap are plastic material. However the grip, the end cap, and the lead sleeve seem to be metal.

I believe the case is plastic as is the battery/card door. Initially I was concerned about this especially on the battery door but have not had any problems with it. I had the Casio EX-H10 before this and when the lens broke on it (it accidentally opened while I had it on my belt and in a zippered case and not knowing this I leaned forward and bent it while it was opened/extended), I bought this newer model. I love the photos I get from this camera and its' zoom. Since I have owned one of these since 2010 and nothing has happened to the plastic case in extensive and frequent travels (about 6 months/yr) I have never found this to be a concern. The only concern I have is that the on/off button (and programmed "photo taking" button) will occasionally open if I accidentally lean or touch them in my purse/pocket/carry bag and after my last camera lens issue, I have to be careful to check it is always closed when I stow it or stick my hand into the bag holding it.....a caution for users....hard on the batteries and harder if you accidentally hit it/lean against it or press something on it. Hope this helps.

I cannot tell from the text whether you are asking "which is it, metal or plastic?" or "which metal and/or plastic is it?" I cannot answer the second, so will do my best with the first. It appears to be non-conductive paint or plastic over a metal shell. I measure electrical continuity between the added weight screw thread (between the elongated cartridge mount holes) and the rear connector mounting. The metal is not iron; it does not attract a magnet. I hope this helps.

It appears to be plastic. At least its not a ferrous metal as has no magnetic attraction. The only surface parts that are magnetic are the sole plate and chromed "nose" piece at the front. Iron has been used for several months and the lever in question remains fully functional and unblemished.

As per photo. (Black in the middle and Silver on the side) Appears to be made of plastic. I have a HP Officejet Pro 8100 placed on top. No reqrets.

It is die cast metal, very sturdy. And comes with a nice padded carrying case.

Metal. Maybe a slightly lighter gauge than the rest of the pen. No plastic or fabric.

Metal - I would guess aluminum - with a thin coating of whatever color. The color wears off pretty fast ( 2 months) but the engraving is still readable.

It is made of metal. It is sturdy enough, but the company sent it as an incomplete machine and would not make good on it.

the case itself is metal, the box is metal the door is metal its a metal case, but the handle and front of the case are plastic, the entire plastic faceplate comes off pretty easy to secure 5.25 drives and clean the fan

It is made out of plastic. The only metal parts are the crank and the disks. All of the gears are also made of plastic. The one I purchased worked fine for a few times, but then one of my children cranked too hard and stripped the plastic gears.

The press body, the end caps, the handle and the dies are aluminum. The insert at the top is plastic (the part that fits inside the top ring that the lever attaches to) as is the foot at the bottom that presses against the dough. Both are pretty sturdy.

It's plastic. The outside is super durable aluminum and the inside is just the keyboard and the stand. No cloth on it. And it locks in when you are done via these rubber bumper things. It is 100% worth the buy. If you want a really good keyboard without a super tiny shift key like 99% of the other ones (soooo annoying) get this.
