Why do you say that? Did you know why planes, the BIG Airbus 380 is made out of plastic? Because it is stronger and lighter than the aluminium.

So, by default metal isn't always stronger than plastic. It really depends what kind of plastic and what kind of metal.

BTW: I have seen messages here from Sony owners that their screen broke when they didn't "knowingly" put any stress on it.
