Not only does glass feel premium, it's also relatively scratch-resistant, which means our devices look new for longer — as long as we don't drop them.

I’m firmly on the glass side, but I’m willing to listen if there was a material as scratch resistant as glass and had better shock resistance. The word “scratch” was only used once in the article so I guess there isn’t a material improvement to polymer over amorphous silica.
