I hope ED isn't losing sleep over this. ClockworkCoder is right, he did say weekends.
Weekend is over for me now (6:13 am)
I continued the assembly and will post the pictures later today. We're getting there
Off to bed now, more later

You might not like it but that's not how you talk about some one's "creative" effort...
Sounds horrible Got up at 11am, I'm now back at workAs I woke up it was 6:45 am.

Nope, I'm doing the assembly and mods at homeDo you literally sleep in your office? I used to work for someone who did that...
BTW: The first round of case material samples has also arrived today, so I guess I need to make a video as well (AND upload the pictures from the assembly here...)
I think he means shipping orders from the shop.
I'm not sure if an aluminium lid of the same dimensions would be more or less robust than the polycarbonate lid we're likely to get at present. Any time you drop it, you're more likely to dent aluminium permanently (until you take it to a car garage and get it beaten out from the inside at least), while polycarbonate has an entirely plastic stretch response until it fractures.
So - about radio signals for the wifi, bluetooth, 4G...
There are highebdh aluminum smartphones by millions and millions, and their wireless coms work without magic
A solution is simply: you left a very thin window for radio signals and cover it with rubber. Lots of aluminum phones had this solution.
Other solution is to add rubber pieces on aluminum edges, in this way you get shock protection and a way for radio signals, even better grip and even they can work as surface contact when using in a table.
Behind the glass/plastic are a million or so color LEDs with micro-traces connecting them all to a multi-layer circuit board - often with the SoC and everything else behind it. Essentially we lock the phone's radio antennas behind Faraday walls.I think most phones with aluminium backs radiate their radio signals mostly through the glass or plastic at the front.
... simplymake the case out of a properly chosen material that does not block the very signals you are trying to use.
