Well it is made of aluminum and gorilla glass. Aluminum bends and after a certain point it will crack. Gorilla glass bends and doesn't crack.

There WAS a bend. But he bent it back into the original flat non-bent shape.
I find this really hard to believe. Maybe a little bend but not that much. Even if the display or body could bend that much with out a crack, it is hard to believe that the battery, internal components, and or ribbon connections would not have been damaged from such bend.
So untill I see a video of a bent iPad mini working. I cant believe the OP
Maybe Apple should go back to good old stainless steel cases.
