plastic or metal?

the other thread got lock prematurely so no one got an actual answer (which is what i thought the point of posting was). do you think that your thunderbolt is metal or plastic? i personally say plastic.
That horse was beat to death. Theres a reason the thread was lock. This thread will turn in to the same thing.

In the end does it really matter if its metal or plastic.

Also I used a device I have at work that measures paint on aluminum poles at work and it didnt register the so called aluminum in the phone case and I went all over the phone. So if there is aluminum they got it hid.

Dang guys, I was 100% convinced that it was metal until I read this...but I have to say they did a good job making the plastic feel a little more high-quality than usual. Either way, I have picked up a Thunderbolt and a Charge and have been obsessing over side-by-side comparisons and I just keep coming back to the Thunderbolt. Guess I can't say it's because of the sturdy metal construction anymore :p

So the kickstand didn't register either, but it's clearly metal. Methinks your test is faulty.
