Special leather covers are sold for the Trezor, they certainly increase its mechanical strength, but still, in terms of strength, it loses much to the yubikey.  And i think even if the Trezor will is in a leather case and someone weighing over 200 pounds steps on it with their heels, not even a leather case will help him.

In terms of mechanical  strength Yubikey 5 USB-A has the  linchpin. When you plug the key horizontally  into USB port and accidentally push it  down with force while touching golden plate it   bends  and may break down.  To prevent this I plug it only vertically and touch it on both sides so as not to bend
