    Since the cases are made of "Magnesium, carbon fiber reinforced plastic or titanium composite"...I'm guessing the blue stuff is one of those metals, anodized.

    That's what the cases are made of, but what's in the picture is the rubber coating over the actual case. The crystals are basically glitter.
