Liquidmetal Alloy
A recent news report describes the potential use of the amorphous metal alloy known as Liquidmetal for use in iPhone casings: http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/19/tech/mobile/liquidmetal-iphone-casing/index.html?hpt=hp_t2. More details about this noncrystalline, hard alloy can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidmetal. The alloy is quite hard; a ball bearing dropped on the alloy will rebound to a much greater height than one dropped on stainless steel, for the demonstration see the middle movie at: http://www.liquidmetal.com/resources/.
