    So yes the Motorola synthetic back is definitely more durable than glass.

    I was thinking more in terms of durability relating to general wear and age rather than short-term drops, scratches, etc. I’ve seen some images of people claiming their Motorola back wore out within months (could be a problem on their end, mine is fine after a year) and we all remember those older plastic devices with the soft touch finish that “melts” after a few years.

      You can still get a cover, and still have the advantages of better drop resistance and lower weight and being slimmer than a glass back with cover.
      I suppose the wear resistance is slightly better than your average cover. Mine looks OK IMO, but it doesn’t look new anymore. I usually put my phone on surfaces like tables or whatever convenient when I sit down, and the edges where the back curves are clearly a bit matte, and there are a few scratches from the incidents. But there is no discoloration or cracks or anything that looks broken or is an eyesore.
