Title: Fancy Metal Casing
Post by: bulbasaur on May 18, 2015, 11:47:06 AM
Is it just me, or is this a flaw in portable devices?  Full metal bodies look nice, but many people cover it anyways.  The cover then makes it thicker.  I think I like the fabric designs despite not looking as nice.  I don't know if it is true, but the fabric design looks like it can survive accidents better. I've seen metal on laptops and phones crack.  A laptop with a fabric top seems safer than a flimsy metal or plastic one.  Also, I think a fabric  design makes the device easier to hold; a flat brick is not the easiest thing to hold. 

While I am ranting on design....

Whatever happened to built-in kickstands?  Expansion slots?  IR?  That little loop where you can a wrist loop (whatever it is called)?  Why isn't basic weatherproofin g standard?
