That's a fair analogy, or it would've been if phones of old weren't absolutely fine without cases. I believe that a manufacturer can produce a sturdy phone (these exist), but it's all form over function and vanity... And yeah, failed to mention that it's just my opinion, I just hate phone cases... It's like phones are a nice pair of boobs, and you put on a stupid padded bra in order not to scratch them! Awful! A totally different look and feel!
"or it would've been if phones of old weren't absolutely fine without cases."
Was it all phones of old or certain phones of old? And how old are we talking? 10+ years old? I dropped my OG Droid that didn't have a case on it & cracked the display. Does that count as phones of old? Or again, are we talking certain phones of old? You mentioned dropping a Nokia. Everyone knows that not even Thor's hammer could break a Nokia, whereas there've been several cases where iPhones have suffered damage from a couch-height fall onto carpet.
Your opinion or not, a comment like "If it NEEDS an accessory, it's a failed design." makes absolutely no sense.
At this point this is almost like just having a case but I'd like a replaceable back for the freedom of using different materials (textured plastic like on the LG V10, sandstone OnePlus One, leather like LG G4, aramid, fabric, fiber, Kevlar, rubber, etc, etc) but the replaceable back would wrap all around until it meets the screen (no frame exposed) kinda like the iPhone 5c, so the back can be replaced if it's dropped in concrete and get deep scratches or scuffs like aluminum or steel frames currently do.
At the moment, I have the OEM leather case and the textured TPU case ringke onyx for the S23U and I like both cases/textures depending on how I'm feeling.
If I have to pick just one non-replaceable material for the back, I’d prioritize durability and would choose a high impact resistant, and scratch resistant polymer matrix composite such as CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer) composite or at least GFRP (glass fiber reinforced polymer), which would be a bit cheaper.
Well, asinine or not, I stand by my opinion: the glass sandwich is a failed design (to me). Other materials may dent, chip, or crack a little, but glass shatters in a very spectacular way, and it is a terrible material to make phones out of.
Things that are NOT allowed:
Ceramic is great—almost unscratchable—but it's very brittle; you risk chipping it or shattering it altogether.

Rubberized plastic is fine for cases, but I don't feel it works as well for a rigid structure... How do you feel about soft touch plastics?

Then on the screen Kunlun Glass or better.
Glass for me, provided that I will always slap a plastic case on them anyway.
