That depends on which type of metal the phone is made from. If you compare plastic and the steel on the iPhone 4 and 4s then that is definitely wrong. But the aluminium used in the iPhone 5 and 5s is another matter. I got scratches on my previous iPhone 5 simply from inserting and removing it from a plastic cover. With my current iPhone, the 5s, I make sure to wipe and blow any dust from it before putting it inside a cover.
My wife has one of those entry level Samsung Galaxy phones. She has had it for about a year now. She throws it in her handbag together with keys, coins and what have you. And there is not one scratch on the phone.

Exactly.
The 5 and 5S are prone to scratching and denting easily, I'm more than happy with plastic, it's durable, flexible, doesnt dent easily and is light weight, Samsung must stick to it, IMO, a mix of mostly polycarbonate and steel edging would be fine, I don't want aluminum.
Had my GS4 over a year now, I use it in and out of a case constantly and the plastic is still fine a year later.
As for the iPhone5C, I haven't cared enough to even try it, probably never will.

i have both 5s and 5c......and i can easily say that 5c plastic is freaking awesome....its like night & day compared to Samsung S4 for example.
....aluminium is both hard and soft metal....it handle drops very good without cracking
though......i use a super thin (1mm) back cover on my 5s just because i want it to look stunning on the backside.

Is the 5C's plastic as flexible as the S4's back cover? In other words can it handle being bent extremely without snapping? Would be interesting to see if anyone has tried that with the 5C's shell.

Trying to bend an iPhone 5c? That's called destructive testing...

I meant the shell when the phone is disassembled.

No thank you, the 5C for me would be going backwards and would probably gather dust along with my Galaxy S2 and the iPhone4S we've got lying around somewhere here.
I'd like proof of the iPhone 5C plastic shell being bent, you've got me really interested now as that would give us an idea of how durable the 5C's plastic cover is, here's a pic of my GS4 back cover:

Samsung's plastic from my experience has been better and more durable than what people think or as on here presume. Aluminum scratches easily
