I think you missed the part where it says "This means the phone will have both front and back glass panels with a metal frame surrounding the edges". From what I've seen in the patents, if this guys speculation is correct, that means the glass and Liquidmetal frame will be fused together.

According to Apple World Today, “liquid metal is the commercial name for a series of amorphous metal alloys. The special metal has high tensile strength, corrosion resistance, water resistance and better elasticity”.

The use of the new material and display technology was predicted by KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in a research note. Kuo has an excellent track record for forecasting Apple’s new initiatives. According to him, the 2017 iPhone may adopt the same “glass-backed” structural design which is used for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s, reported Mac Rumors.
