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.
I believe if they make a phone with entire glass body and seal it shut with capacitive buttons and wireless charging, would make the best concept phone. if not the metal is the best material. I'd trade a metal back phone to glass or plastic any day. oh and lets face it, wireless charging is a gimmick, it's a huge waste of electricity and resources, battery degrading, and frankly none of us using wireless charging as a routine charging method.
all in all, the plastic is bad for the environment, your health and is flimsy, glass is fragile, but metal is the most durable and feels great in the hand.

Polycarbonate of the old Lumia phones was the best material
