: Gold-capped is much thicker than gold plate, up to 5 times thicker.
: That being said, 200 to 250 microns is not very thick.
: Hope this helps,

Not to be argumentative, but not very thick compared to what? :) Your comments contradict one another . . . .
Compared to a solid gold case it is not very thick, but compared to any other practice or method of applying a gold coating, as you say, it is far thicker.
0.2mm to 0.25mm (200-250 microns) is thick enough to be easily perceived by the human eye. In perspective, its about as thick as two (straight) human hairs.
