Hi All,
What are the pros and cons of using a thermal conductive plastic cell phone housing compared to that of an anodised alumumium one?
The former is lighter in terms of weight and virtually scratch proof. In terms of aesthetic, anodized aluminum offers better finishing, but unless hard anodizing is used, scratches can occur as evidently seen in the new Iphone 5.
What about EMI shielding? Don't think thermal conductive plastic is capable of providing EMI shielding ?
What about manufacturing cost ? Is injection molding of thermal plastic more or less cost effective than metal stamping process of aluminum?
Thank you for the time
regards,
