steel > aluminium> wood/plastic in stiffness

Yes but that is simply the rules of material strength and toughness, so not surprising.

What the video proves is at least the anodizing process is robust and not as flaky as has been made out. Perhaps just a bad batch in the initial manufacturing stage, meaning with proper care, iPhone 5 will last as well as any other anodized aluminium product.

yup agree
I just don't understand the big fuzz that it can be scratched when in contact with metal, any anodized aluminium casing will be scratched.
