is the air supposed to have a metal case or plastic?

reason why I ask is that my iPhone (which is in a thin metal casing) makes me nervous lately (at least this time of the year). Not even thinking about it, I got out of bed a few days ago and went to check for missed calls and shit and ZAP got a fucillio HUGE electric shock from the static build up (fleece/flannel blanket).

I honestly thought it might of destroyed the phone but so far so good. I just make sure it ground myself before picking it up now. Even with a rubber case, it still stung pretty good and in a package that tiny, it can’t be too hard to fry a chip or smoke the flash HDD
