Looks like Liquidmetal to me.

October should be interesting..

Sorry for the Spam Jimmy. I didn't realize I was hitting pirate instead of public lol.

Looks as much like liquidmetal as my icon photo.

There appears to be mill marks by one of the jack connectors and what appears to be exposed aluminum alloy in others.

This case doesn't scream innovation at all. It looks like an iPhone 4.

Doubt it will look like this at all.

Looks like LQMT to me. So let's review.

Some famous posters here claim LQMT will get Royalties. But then later, they change their mind and go back to saying no royalties, no revenue at all in fact. Board famous posters can't make up their mind.

Then famous posters here say August 10K will show better deal for LQMT. But then later, they say same deal for LQMT on the extension,'cause LQMT has no clout.

But then famous posters claim LQMT IPHONE phone will be the world's best advertising, and other customers will rush to be next. Fair enough. Other companies can't be left behind, regardless of what market they are in...'cause liquid metal will become world's coolest material...at long last.

So I think it's Liquid Metal, and that's good enough. October will be interesting, as one poster already put it so nicely.

It looks the same as the Iphone 4's stainless steel band to me. I would actually not be surprised to find out that this "stainless steel" of Apple's is an amorphous alloy. I can't find much information on it, but this is what Apple says about it:

http://www.apple.com/channel/iphone/iphone-4/verizon/design.html

Stainless Steel Band
Created from our own alloy, then forged to be five times stronger than standard steel, the CNC-machined band is the mounting point for all the components of iPhone 4. The band provides impressive structural rigidity and allows for its incredibly thin, refined design. It also functions as both iPhone 4 antennas.

How would this strength be achieved unless it had an amorphous atomic structure?

I would be ok with this, though, since it should mean that we would get the rights to this formula. Probably the biggest thing that has worried me about Liquidmetal is the lack of a good Iron based amorphous alloy, which is where I think the future is eventually headed. If Apple has achieved this and is sharing it with Liquidmetal, there's no stopping us.

All speculation. If somebody has more information on Apple's "stainless steel," please share.
