Those ifs don't seem to be a big issue though since there don't seem to be many cases of anybody really having a problem.

I agree with the idea that plastic screens have advantages. However, you see a lot of manufacturers for plastic screen devices make overblown statements for how delicate glass screens are (not just picking on Robertb, lots of them do it). I don't think the glass screens are nearly as prone to breaking as some people assume they are. Real world experience (demonstrators tossing devices on the floor aside) seems to indicate that there's not a significant problem.
