As best I can describe it - It's a kind of hard plastic shell that has a metallic coating (it also has some metal inside that help the box keep it's shape. In the recent News Askew article about how the boxes were produced they describe them as "anodized aluminum and ABS resin with a mirror metallic surface"... hope that helps!!!

: one for the fingerprints unfortunately. What's it actually made of? Is it some kind of metal or just hard shiny plastic?

: : ... I ordered mine the day they announced it (so you're not the first Brit to get it!!!) and received it less than a week later. Anyway it's a really nice box that only has one drawback - it gets fingerprints all over it!!! Seriously you touch it once and it's covered in fingerprints!!!
