ужас. описывается телефон, корпус которого исполнен в "спортивном стиле". не понимаю, что такое активные материалы. могу перевести тупо как active materials, но может быть, у кого-нить есть версия подоходчивее?..

Explanation:
I think you've got to translate it this way, but the ref. below is awfully hi-tech - maybe it's right though.

This talks about piezo film sensors and electro-active materials being used for keyboards. Stick with the literal translation. I thinkmk_lab is right - the Russian is probably a translation.

thanks for your help, guys! i think i'll stick with my own version here, though, - 'advanced materials' does seem to sound right in the context. thanks!

Explanation:
Часто active materials применяется как эквивалент electrotechnical materials (электротехнические материалы), т.е. (в данном случае) слабоэлектризующиеся и хорошо изолирующие пластики. Похоже, ваш текст уже сам является переводом, в котором active materials перевели напрямую в лоб, красиво и не мудрствуя лукаво.

Explanation:
Лично у меня ассоциации спортивного телефона с материалами, которые способны выдерживать удары, давление и пр., что происходит при _активном_ образе жизни.

Я это понимаю как materials created/developed for an active life-style
