Laminated wood like you find in high-end automobiles. Possibly with an inner plastic or aluminum reinforcement to give it strength. It would be both beautiful and in keeping with Apple's high-end appeal.

Plus the Apple logo could be etched, burned or inlaid in.

Wood would be very beautiful and nice to touch, but it seems difficult to make it thin enough without having horrible durability problems.
