1) first case reported was a guy who had it in his front pocket of his suit pants and was only sitting down or walking. no gymnastics!
2) Many sites have tested and bent the new apple phone and all tests show they ALL bend. Design flaw because they didn't use a composite plastic shell inside to reinforce the phone because they wanted it to be thinner.
3) All other phones tested from other companies do not have this problem.
4) It is a massive fail! If people still buy them it is a testament to how gullible and brainwashed apple users are. I would never buy such a flimsy constructed phone. This is not my opinion. Tests have been done and Apple has failed.
Ok, last response in here, whether this sinks in or not.
1) First case - a single case (out of how many?) wherein the claim is that 'I was only walking or sitting down'. Even if this is true, it's still only one case out of a sea of cases. Given the apparent amount of force necessary to bend it in the videos online, I'm wondering how you could manage to NOT notice the stress you're putting on the phone in your pocket. It will be interesting to see some actual numbers from carriers/insurance agencies, but I'm yet unconvinced that this device is going to bend with normal use.
2) As I already stated, all phones can be bent or broken, not just the new iphone 6 plus. It's a question of force needed - apparently still a fair amount in this case, although admittedly less than for most other phones. My question is - how long does it really take one to notice that their phone is under this much pressure while still in his/her pocket?
3) All phones are built differently. Because Galaxy devices are made with plastic, they don't bend (at least, they don't bend much and subsequently hold that shape). They're also cheaper to make than iPhones. Does that make them better? Well, if you're like me and don't use your phone as a hammer, no, not really. If you typically use a case with your phone, no, not really. If you're a woman and carry your phone in your purse, no, not really. See what I'm getting at here?
4) Perhaps they have (gasp!). But, there are always naysayers lingering around launch time, squawking about this or that perceived flaw. Then the devices sell really well, and things carry on as usual, then there's a new one, etc.
Thing is, people value different things in their electronics. While some may prefer one device over another because of it's strength and durability, others might prefer the other because it's lighter and thinner. One is not necessarily better - just different.
And if they have, it'll be interesting to see what they do about it.
While we're at it...phone cases. They're everywhere. I always have one on my phone (whatever it happens to be). I do this because I know I may drop it at some point. I've never had a screen break or a phone bend.
