  Opaque ones have a wider range of materials to choose from. Plastic is pretty unlikely to break, though. Glass is the only other transparent case and that would be brittle (guess which one modern phones use)

    Pretty disingenuous comparison to make. Phone screen glass is much more resistant than normal glass and offers much better touch sensitive and feel than plastic.

      I’m talking about the back, they do it for wireless charging

        Plenty of phones use plastic or aluminum backings that are wireless charging compatabile

        could’ve used plastic, but I guess that isn’t “premium enough”

      You know, it’d be kinda sick if someone made a device that had a colored glass case. Phone glass would probably still be too fragile to make an entire Gameboy or iMac out of, but it might be cool at least as a concept item.
