I picked one of these up for $30 new from a going-out-of-business electronics store. The Mg edition (the one reviewed) is mostly made of a magnesium alloy shell and is very durable. As far as the plastic components I am unsure, however since other models are composed completely of ABS/Polycarbonate I would safe that would be a safe guess.

I have found that direct sunlight must be very direct or the unit will not charge (not good on a cloudy day even thought the company claims it still works). I would not buy it for anything over $50, but if you are able to pick up a deal like I was then check it out.

Nice review with many photos. But I think some technical information (output range, etc) is needed.

Wow, great review thanks for not including small things like technical specs of the mAh capacity!

It is great to save money from our electricity bills. Saving is really important nowadays, we have to earn more in order to live graciously. Solar energy panels really helped many people. It is very useful and reasonable in saving money. It is all natural and a green nature friendly.
