The materials in question:

1. Steel
2. Aluminum
3. Plastic

What are the Pros and Cons of each?

I'm not looking for which is the best/worst, I just want a Pros and Cons list for each of them please...


Thanks!
Madman :smile:

Well plastic will be more brittle and could show damage easier for whatever reason, but they seem to be cheaper than Aluminum cases (I am not sure about their price next to steel)

Steel seems to be the most common to see and its price reflect that because its fairly low compared to some other case materials. The only real drawback to the steel ones is they are more heavy.

Aluminium are more expensive and I have read that they have less sturdy construction to the Steel's. But they tend to have a more exotic look and are much lighter than their steel counterparts.

I've seen cases with a mix of all three. Its fairly common to see an aluminum outside and steal insides.
