The only plastic on the transporter is the polycarbonate lens. The rest is built from cast and/or milled aluminum (the bezel, knob, and buttons) or from sheet metal (the case). Further, the transporter is not built in China. It is built in Mt. View, CA. There is a backlog, as each unit is hand-assembled, and thoroughly tested before shipping. It's a pretty labor-intensive process. -=> Jim -- JimC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36764
