"Let's debate, discuss, weigh the pros and cons (get rid of the stupid phone cases), and find the solution to this difficult equation."
Get rid of the stupid phone cases? That's one of the stupidest things I've heard on here. SMH. Whether the phone is glass, plastic or metal, a dropped phone is going to suffer some kind of damage; be it externally or internally. Not only do cases protect from the display or frame being damaged, but they absorb shock from falls, protecting the antenna or other internal components from suffering damage.
If someone is constantly dropping their phone, it's eventually going to be damaged from the wear & tear of the drops, but cases still offer protection. Without a case, one drop is all it takes.
Plastic, under the assumption it's something super high quality like the Nokia N9 or the iPhone 5C and not cheap plastic like old Samsungs. Durable, feels good, zero radio interference, cheap, easier to work with.
Glass is nice and pretty and you can do some cool stuff with it so I consider it acceptable but I hate that it's standard. Glass is heavy, Glass is fragile, glass is expensive.
Metal on a phone is the dumbest thing. It's heavier than glass, generally more expensive and it blocks signal forcing greater engineering costs to design around it.
If it NEEDS an accessory, it's a failed design. I dropped my Nokia 8 countless times back in the day. Never used a case, phone was fully functional until I sold it.
I guess that's PoV for you. No one claims car wheels are a failed design because they get sheathed in (relatively) inexpensive and replaceable tires.
Frankly, I like having a case on my phone; it allows me to customize its features (the last kickstand I had on a phone itself was an HTC Evo 4G) and its appearance. For the most part, their plastic/TPU is grippier in my hands than glass. Likewise a glass screen protector on the screen--it absorbs years' worth of scratches.
I'd be happier if my phone were designed around having a replaceable, inexpensive glass screen protector & case. It'd be a more affordable device than one where the engineers have tried (and failed) to endure 2+ years of drops, scratches, etc, with premium materials.
