There may or may not be minor differences, but as far as I've been able to discern over the years, we have no evidence either way. There's nothing particularly protective about metal cases over plastic, and we don't know how the front layer has been reinforced (there was one blog claim of "gorilla glass" on top, unsupported by any facts).

If the Voyage actually is less prone to breakage, that makes the poster's move from Voyage to Kobo over a broken screen even less sensible.
