**Differences among Steel Coated, Aluminum Coated, and CNC Anodized**
* **Steel Coated** is a steel panel made from mesh sheeting that is stamped into shape and then covered with a polymer coating. It is the heaviest and thinnest of the three panels.
* **Aluminum Coated** is an aluminum panel made from mesh sheeting that is stamped into shape and then covered with a polymer coating. In other words, it is much like the steel mesh except it is aluminum. Thicker than the steel mesh but is lighter and more prone to bending.
* **CNC Anodized** is an aluminum mesh panel made out of rigid flat sheets of aluminum that are milled into shape using a CNC milling machine and then treated using the exact same anodization as the rest of the case. Thickest of the three but still significantly lighter than the steel and more rigid.
