I've also remembered where I read that Mobius screens are more prone to scratches from a stylus. It's on this very site's wiki.
I'm guessing that the wiki page may be jumping to some inaccurate conclusions. The footnotes/references don't mention anything about scratches?

I'm guessing that the substrate flexing doesn't contribute to the scratches, just that the front panel is more prone to scratches because the front panel is more flexible (the front panel is less resistant to scratches to make it more flexible, lighter, ...). Some glass substrate ereaders have been more prone to scratches then others.
