I'm sorry to disagree with both you and DaleDe but you are not touching the bottom layer of the screen and the top layer which is where scratches would show has little to do with the bottom layer. If you are pressing hard enough to scratch the top layer, I would tend to be more worried that you are going to damage the top transparent electrode and the capsules in the eInk display.

Scratching the top layer would depend more on what the top layer is made of rather than the substrate. I am aware of a couple of eInk devices that had a plastic top layer due to the size of the device and those were more prone to scratching than the ones that used a glass top layer. One example would be the Boox Max 3.
