Could be aluminum. Magnet won't work.

Just get a all plastic base and forget the chrome stuff. They make guns out of plastic so if it is a good name brand quality case it will protect your. Phone just fine without cutting RF.

Looks like it could be aluminum. My friend had an aluminum ring that felt basically like plastic because it was so lightweight.

But either way, aluminum is bad for wireless signals, as you can see by the two glass windows on the back of the iPhone 5.
