Ok, so paint it black and it'll blend in. Not sure what the difference is. Once you have the case on it you don't see the metal strip nor will you likely take the case cover off. I think you're making a big deal of nothing really. The idea is to protect the device while carrying it around and not detract from the ease of use or access to the hardware buttons. I think this cover fits the bill. If you don't like the 'silver' color just because you know its there, paint it.
Sorry, but with the magnet, it just looks like a hideous add on. What they should have done was ship the official case with a new battery cover that has the magnet built-in. Now that would be sweet!
The metal strip on the battery cover seems a little clumsy... for the price, I would have expected the package to contain a replacement battery cover with the metal strip more aesthetically attached.
Yea, I agree with you and the last post with a similar comment. Certainly could have been a black strip or a new back panel with the metal imbedded. Regardless, once you put the cover on you'll likely not take it off and you can't see the metal strip with the case attached. It feels sturdy, both the magentic connection at the back and the magnetic connection at the front are very firm. You really need to get your finger underneath the front cover edge to get it loose (this is good).

“Note: Parts of the case are magnetic...... Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the case, because information stored on them may be erased.”
So 16gb of data on the two SD cards is safe then?
From what I have seen, the case arrangement on the N770 was nigh on perfect, so why then did Nokia make the decision to dump it? Can’t we have it back for the N800?
I supposed you could force it to bend flat against the back. It doesn't feel like it was designed to do that. I just open it and let it hang as it wants. The weight of it doesn't seem to create an imbalance in your hand.
