The high-density plastic that most modern readers are made from is better at absorbing impact than metal is, because it's more elastic. Look at the bumper (fender) of any modern car - it's plastic, not metal, because it does the job better.
Look at the Kindle forum here at MR. Do you see any significant number of reports of broken PWs?
