Sorry but there is absolutely no metal on the M92 at all.
I opened my device already and it looks not that sturdy, considering the price. So I am looking for a nice hardcase for my M92 ... just in case ... call me paranoid ^^

My little brother owns a Pocketbook 912, so I can compare them.
The PB has a metal back and the arrangement of the buttons is much better, specially when you are reading in landscape (you can navigate with your thumb ... with the onyx ... its not that comfortable).

On the other side, the onyx is smaller, the screen is better (imho), its faster, scribbling works much better, it has better zoom levels ...

At the moment I am missing multitasking most (PB has multitasking).

There is no perfect device.
