This can be made of plastic or glass - plastic is not as clear as glass - the image is worse; it can also be scratched much more easily.

The choice remains with 10.3: better image quality and slightly heavier vs. fairly shatterproof.
It will be explained to you for as long as it takes you to get it.

We are talking about the substrate. The glass substrate is heavier and more fragile. It when you see a picture of someone's broken screen, that's the glass substrate that has broken. The plastic substrate does not break nearly as easily. Also, it's lighter in weight. So you can have a heftier battery because you've given up some of the weight with the plastic substrate.
