Even if you also increase the thickness in proportion, the scale matters, that's (one of the reasons) why elephant-sized ants are not physically possible. The weight increases with the cube of the size, but the resistance increases only with the square, because it's related to the cross-section area.

It is quite possible the H20 is not as fragile as the Voyage or PW3. The reason being that the H2O is thicker and that might protect the screen better. This is however a guess.
