    i am just wondering if the other color options for the m1330 have the rubbery texture feeling like the red one. i thought the other colors looked more like a metal material

    The blue and pink one have the microsatin finish, like the red one.
    The white is a glossy enamel finish (like a washing machine).
    The black is neither glossy nor microsatin, but is sort of a matte finish.

    so basing on your responses, the white one is the only one with a different texture/feeling?

    i've had both red and black. the red is rubbery, the black is a metal/hard painted plastic.
