If you're not one of those who enjoys tarnish, you can easily remove the tarnish using either a combination of lemon juice + baking soda or a commercial metal cleaner such as Brasso.
Bottom cases will also be available seperately in both material options
Confirmed plate materials are brass and POM, and plate files will be open sourced following the groupbuy.
