Not OP, but for me I hate it whenever anything metal touches it. Jacket zipper, wristwatch band and/or clip, perhaps a ring for married people, it's awful. Yay for plastic.

Same for phones. My previous one was a Samsung Note 2: plastic, slightly bent back. Then I tried a Xiaomi MI A1 and (after sending that one back) a Huawei P10 Lite, metal and glass respectively. I hated metal more, but both are awful. It's flush with any table, hard to pick up, even harder if the screen is on and you don't want to touch anything, and it slides out of your hand if you want to use it one-handed in anything other than a near laying down flat position while still operating the screen.

People say (about plastic, both in laptops and in phones) that it gives a premium feeling. It doesn't to me, but it's also just terrible UX wise, so they can keep it.
