Modern high-density plastics, such as that used for the case of the Gen3, certainly don't equate to cheapness or poor quality. They provide just as good a protection as a metal case, and have better impact absorption properties (they disperse energy rather than "dent", like metal does). That's why most modern cars have plastic bumpers, rather than metal!
