Agreed. I can't help but think back to a black ceramic watch I purchased. The metallic black color and finish were pretty amazing (and it didn't really scratch) but it took a whole 2 months until it slid off a table and the entire band shattered on the floor. Some of the links were replaceable but some weren't. I think I still have the leftovers in a shoebox somewhere. I'm not sure I want my phone to be that fragile.
I'm reminded of a quote from Skunk Works, attributed to Soviet engineer Alexander Tupolev: "You Americans build airplanes like a Rolex watch. Knock it off the night table and it stops ticking. We build airplanes like a cheap alarm clock. But knock it off the table and still it wakes you up."
