What is the composite of this phone? Is it plastic or metal? Or made from composite materials from the era?

As the phone was a gift for another person, I cannot answer from direct experience. I have used the phone - a couple of times. It is VERY heavy. I believe it has a weighted base, but it appears to be a combination of metal and plastic.

This phone is basically all plastic (with exception of the earpiece hook which is nice chromed metal) with a heavy lead weight in the bottom and another lead weight in the earpiece. I took the lead weights out except for leaving a partial one in the earpiece just so it would hang up properly. Having it heavy seemed to serve no purpose. Only problem I know of is the sound of my voice to others, poor quality. Poor acoustics for the microphone. Maybe not their fault, however I think they could have done better.

it's "like" the composite material of the old Bell phones. quite heavy & well made...speaking about the black phone...

It's a harder plastic although there is some 'give' in in - it's certainly not rigid... you can bend it a little. It's done great for me - loads of drops on the floor and the phone has never been damaged. The only thing I don't like is that it has definitely yellowed. It's no longer clear.

Heavy gauge plastic. It's good and solid. The phone is heavy, not as heavy as the old ones but still solid.

It is all aluminum. .. And it has two screws that bolt it around the phone... The only downside is that it decreases signal strength.

I have only used it with a bare phone, it is a snug fit, and has a hole in the back for the camera to access... yes it is made of plastic, I have been using it for over a year at best guess and it is still going strong.

I think it's both. My husband has a small dent on the back right above the shiny chrome that runs down the side. I don't think plastic would dent. It is the best phone for a person who likes putting it in your pocket all the time.

It's just plastic. It kind of snaps in if you have a white iPhone it blends well.

It's definitely, definitely plastic. I played with one this afternoon. Only looks "metallic." Plastic. OTOH, it's about as nice a plastic as you can get. Would I prefer real metal? Of course - who wouldn't (the iPad just looks gorgeous). But this should hardly be a dealbreaker for anyone.

Plastic and rubber. For me this is the nicest case I have bought for my S5. It's much thinner than a otterbox.

It has some metal... just to cover the speakers, the rest is not... say it only has 25% of metal... the other materials not really sure what they are but still sturdy. And yes, you can put your phone into your pocket and it'll sound just fine, don't get too far though otherwise the sound would break.

The main body is a hard rubber/plastic. The outer piece is a durable piece of metal. The size is a little larger all around, which is nice. No matter how you set it down no part of the phone touches the surface it's on.

Hard plastic . Dull finish . Blends well with the phone and does not add bulk.

It is made of some sort of plastic, but I think it is OK and quite sturdy. I got mine about a year ogo and it is still OK, has 2 very light dull spots, (Scuff marks??). If you ask me with what I know about this addition will I buy it. The answer is YES!! Extended live of the battery make this a plus point for my Samsung. Regards, Halba J Barnardt, South Africa

I would say a plastic composite, but it is fairly substantial, and not flimsy

Mostly a plastic feel; the silicone covers the phone and most of the plastic covers the silicone.
