Physique-wise, The ZOPO TOUCH’s back panel is layered with 9-membrane piece  using IML technology. The result, according to the company, is a slippery and durable effect with the colors not easily fading. It also adopts a small arc design which is narrow at the top while being wide at the base — all for an easy and hassle-free operation with one hand.
