I don't think you can compare phones and e-ink this way. The glass that's breaking inside the e-ink is literally paper thin (see teardown pics) whereas the glass surface of a phone is reasonably thick. The thickness of a phone screen is going to prevent flexing/bending generally where the e-ink is relying on the other parts of the device to keep anything from happening to it. Tablets have a screen size the same or greater than e-ink and they also don't have breakage issues from general twist/bending due to thicker glass.
