What is the TX casing made of?

[juliengoodman]

Hi all!
I am thinking about getting a palm tx but would like to know what the casing is made out of - plastic? metal?
I haven't been able to find this information on any webpage.

Also, experiences and opinions on the durability/look/feel of the device would be very welcome

If anyone wants my opinion on Qtek S100 please just ask!

plastic body, comes with free aluminum case.

Wow, forums rocks!
I guess 'body' is the word I should've used, it's what I meant anyway My apologies, english is a second language to me.

So a plastic body - how's the feel of it? I read somewhere else that the Tungsten E2 body was so crappy that it looked worn after just a few weeks.
Any thoughts?
Thank you thank you thank you!

No problem about the language.

The Tungsten TX is very solid and feels quite comfortable in the hand. Well made.

The E2 has a nice silver body.

The Blue Zire 72 is the one to stay away from. The blue peals off to expose the silver body.

I wouldn't want my TX in a metal body. It will significantly attenuate RF wireless signals (WiFi and BT).
