And yet the device enclosure is made with “soft touch” ABS plastic, which degrades terribly over time and becomes sticky. Any gadget made with this material is ewaste in 6-10 years.
- ineedasername 2y agoThere are a variety of ways to make abs sticky-ness go away. Orange oil is a common and easy one, though a little trial and error on a small patch with different options will often yield good results if it doesn’t work. I think maintenance and care of this sort is a reasonable requirement
- BobBagwill 2y agoCorn starch works, too.
- ryanckulp 2y agoi hear you. only the black case is soft touch, other cases are not. white is currently most popular, ~60% of sales. black 35%, translucent 5%.
- djhn 2y agoIs there a resource to read more about the types of plastic commonly used in current generation consumer products? Other than a degree in material science or something similar, that is. Maybe something a bit more digestible, like a book.
