Good point. I reread what I'd said, and I think what I meant is that the phone case could just be built in by the factory. It would mean less / no customization, but they could easily build a case on the outside that is completely drop-resistant with replaceable parts for when you scratch it up.
How does thinness decrease screen protection? On the contrary a reduction in thickness also usually involves a reduction in weight, which decreases the impact force from a drop.
Personally, I'm fine with protection through external, replaceable accessories. No matter how sturdy, scratches on the screen are inevitable. With a glass screen protector, you can throw your $500+ device around carelessly, and replace the $15 protection after a few years or if it breaks.
