Glass Phones... Really?

The battery in my three-plus-year-old phone is starting to fail, so i have been shopping for a new phone. I have been surprised that almost every phone I look at has a glass case; not just a glass screen but glass everywhere.  In reading reviews, I see that about 20-25% of the reviewers complain that they have dropped their phone and broken either the screen or the glass back of the phone.  Many of the reviews say that the glass broke despite using a "protective" case.  If I don't care about inductive charging or camera quality (I just want to make phone calls and access apps), can anyone suggest a phone which is durable and costs under $300?
