Just the texture of my polished wooden desk and pant pockets were enough to put scratches on the back (not the front though).

It shows the price on this review. If you had any bit of knowledge on the resale cost of aluminum like that you would know its obviously not real.

In fact, one of the reasons I bought a vinyl skin for my iPhone 4 was because it improved the reception.

But you are correct, a piece of aluminum would SERIOUSLY cripple reception on your phone.

Though, i do appreciate them giving Nexus devices a little love instead of devoting all their design chops to Apple products.

The article, manufacturer’s Site and their support clearly state its based on textured vinyl. Moreover good luck at finding a brushed aluminum cover for a mere 9$

My opinion is based on personal experience.. You on the other hand, base your opinion what some SALES rep told you, and you have the nerve to tell me not to post without “knowing” what I’m talking about?

I want to see the stupid look on your face once you put it on your phone, and you watch your reception drop immediately after(at least 2 bars).

FYI…Sales reps aren’t known to be the most honest people around. You seem like a youngster, take my advice.
