I didn't consider my H2O to be more "bendy" than my various PWs, but I do think that all of them are more bendy than the Voyage.

A plastic shell arguably provides better protection than a rigid metal one in terms of impact protection, because it will deform and absorb energy (which is why virtually all modern cars have plastic bumpers), but the rigid shell is definitely better when it comes to flex protection, which is how most screen substrate fractures occur.
