Anyone know the type of plastic which is vaccum foldable, and is shiny such as that of bens PS3 laptop, or a PSP or PS3
?
I would also like to vaccum fold it.
Thanks

That looks like a layer of clear acrylic to me.

That looks metallic to me, however... For the shiny look, ABS plastic is the way to go.
