                  I don't know what is problem with plastic???
                  Plastic is more flexible and have better duration for scratch than aluminum... i don't like aluminum!
                  Please Sammy, don't replace plastic with aluminum! Carbon fiber is better and plastic also!
                  Don't listen stupid Nokia fans, who care for them???

                    It's about time.

                    I might buy a Samsung again if they opt for carbon fiber. exquisite looks + unparalleled power + same friendliness (removable battery and sd card slot) and you'll kill the competition once and for all. Do not disappoint me Sammy!

                      I'm not for aluminum casing, I would prefer them looking into premium plastic to hush those who complain about build quality, or even carbon fiber. Aluminum, assuming you drop the device, dents and scratches too easily and may shift the galaxy series to unibody designs.

                        If it turns into reality, I would say a welcome move from Sammy, as it was the only reason I got away from them, after being a loyal customer for the past 3 years. THE DESIGN was age old and lacked that 'PREMIUM' feel..everything else is just perfect!

                          About time. Feeling such sorry for the kids who liked or are plastic.

                              Just change the battery door on the S4 and problem solved.I might buy a carbon fiber one.

                                Prefer plastic, less interference doesn't scratch as easily. Oh well guess it's good for marketing even if it is not the best choice.

                                  If Samsung does shift from plastic to metal it could also mean bye bye to the removable battery & SD card slot aswell.

                                      "because it is really the time Samsung brought its design to the level its software and hardware has reached"
                                      This is SOOO true.
