Umm... no
First of all, $20 does not equal free. At the very least, they need to add
that to the price, plus some profit. Also, I hope you realize that in a free
market prices are set more by what customers are willing to pay than by
what it takes to produce the good. Certainly a metal case which does not
crack adds a significant amount of value to the product, and (some)
customers are willing to pay a premium for that.
