SMARTPHONE update

Started to play in rhino with friction fit aka "LEGO" connections to get a better idea of what will be sandwiched in the connections along with simple STEEL hardware for fastening.
So through much materials debate it looks like ALUMINUM will be the main housing due to its properties being useful for the products "take back cycle" (this goes for all materials/parts used) as well as fitting a current material trend in the smartphone industry.
I am also looking at COPPER used as a medium in the phones RECEIVER become exposed as apart of the overall aesthetic. here a few early rhino shots.
Glass will be sandwiched to protect the front/bak from damage.
