The metal would probably always feel cold to the touch.

Just some thoughts to consider.

PS I love my Blue PP
I wonder about only replacing the front cover with SS (the bezel around the screen). Perhaps that would be a good trade off between having SS and saving on weight/strength. Then again there are many devices out there that mix SS and plastic for their covers *cough* kindle *cough*.
