Iphone 3GS here, dropped on the screen on a basketball court. Damage? Crack, but not on the part where it matters. 100% functional. 3 years later? Back of the case literally falling off. Lol.

It's because you can choose between a screen that scratches "easily" or a screen that is brittle but can withstand keys and knifes because that is cooler and makes for more publicity.
Older screens are made of plastic which won't break, but it will scratch.
