Complete metal noob here.
I want to construct a laptop case from scratch, about 13 inches wide, out of brass, bronze or copper, and use metal glue to hold it all together. I don't care too much about the weight. What I'm wondering is, which out of the three should I use for minimum unwanted bending, and how thick do the sheets need to be? I don't drop laptops, so it doesn't have to be immune to that, and I won't be carrying it with me in a bag. It would also be nice to be able to bend it at least a little, with little to no tools, and I'll probably cut it to size using snips and figure out a way to neaten it up afterwards.
If you insist, I might use a different material, but only if you're sure that it's a terrible idea. It will look good, I'll definitely make that happen, probably through the way in which I bend it and some hardcore manual polishing. The bends should also add some durability.
