Obviously Amazon should fix this with a runtime configuration option! Just flip the right option and the back flips to metal or rubber/plastic. Easy, right? (... actually, this *is* in theory doable, using quantum-dot-based trickery which can basically produce the electron shells of whatever chemical elements you like without actually needing to bother to drag around the elements themselves, and since these are only electrons floating atop semiconductors it's quite easy to software-control. Downside: right now you need near-absolute-zero conditions and really rather significant amounts of power, and it is really not yet ready for large-scale use.)
