Of the few faults I have with the iPhone, the back casing really isn’t one of them. It’s designed well and does it’s job. What more could you ask for? For some, the move to plastic casings after the first gen iPhone was done largely to (1) reduce cost and (2) increase reception to the more cellular loving characteristics of plastic over metals. Understandably, some want the added reception of plastic and the sleek, sturdy look of metal. Solution: Titanium alloy.
You see, Titanium alloy is a much more RF transparent metal than say aluminum (which Martin also tried, though to disappointing results). Obviously, Titanium alloy is also bit too cost prohibitive for a large scale, mass market object such as the iPhone. But for a single user with access to decent CAD software and the required machinery to construct said case, the outcome is only limited by the level of the individual’s creativity.
The creator of the Titanium alloy iPhone case above, Martin, says that besides being sturdier and enjoying the same amount of reception as with the old plastic casing, it looks helluva cool. We don’t disagree with you one bit Martin.
As for plans to expand production — consider this a DIY project. Time to get crafty.
