Identical geometry (material thickness may change slightly to allow for manufacturing process changes) to the one supplied as part of the phone, constructed from alternate materials. This would also allow for custom patterns to be etched/engraved/moulded/printed/embossed onto the case.

Interest

Leave your nickname here if you are interested in having one made. This is not an order form, but is intended to gauge interest before effort is expended designing the case.

1. ruskie - stainless steel case
2. JoSch - anodised aluminium
3. ShakataGaNai — Personally brushed alum. But I think engraved would be cool for a corp environment (think company phones).
4. larstobi - carbon fibre/kevlar/epoxy
5. Jackcday — Engraved would be very cool, Brushed Alum would be cool and possibly glow i/t dark or heat reactive material would be cool(change colour where you touch it!).
6. kuyky - brushed steel/kevlar/wood :D
7. m0wlwurf - Polymer Clear
8. BioGeek - wood
