iPhones have a gorilla glass type screen, almost unscratchable and fairly hard to shatter (people manage, but generally only by nasty drops onto concrete or really rough handling). E-ink screens have a very thin glass substrate which will break not just from impacts but also from bending/twisting. You definitely need to take more care of them.
