Are they trolls or just in denial? I post a success story about how my iPhone was dropped but didn't bend and people still don't believe me.
You know, now that this bend thing is a thing, every Apple product that comes out now will be subject to the bend test. Even non-apple products are getting the bend treatment.
This post is the result of the misinformation campaign started by Apple haters on the web.....
Seems pretty obvious to me that the phone is bent towards the top. Do you keep it in your pocket or did the drop alone cause the bending? 
This made me laugh so hard I had to explain to my wife why I was laughing so hard.
Well fans of products tend to be extremely defensive. Especially if they JUST put alot of money into it. So people like to play Devil's advocate and make EVERYBODY think EVERYBODY else is an idiot or hater and stir **** up for amusement. I'll say sometimes it works out incredibly well for all involved and it's hilarious
You have a soft aluminum car?
----------
I think these guys are just joking with you, just running with the joke.
Cars aren't aluminum obviously, but they do dent quite easily yet people still drive them around knowing that it's possible to hit something by mistake.
It was actually twisted a few thousands of an inch, but I twisted it back with my hands (not much force applied) and now it's fine. So yeah, it did bend a very tiny bit (it may have even been that way before the fall, but I never tested it).
However, the way I was checking it before was putting a ruler up to each side of the phone. Obviously that's not going to check for a twist, but rather a bend along the sides. So when I laid it flat on it's face, I noticed a tiny bit of wobbling, so tiny in fact that it was hardly there. I put a very small amount of pressure and twisted it back with my hands lightly (I say lightly because I literally hardly had to try at all to get it to twist back to normal).
It's possible to do almost anything by mistake, but the steel in cars in no way is as soft as the aluminum in iphones and do not dent or scratch any where near as easily.
If you compare their sizes, from how high would you have to drop a car to compare to dropping a phone from waist high?
I'm over 60 and have never had an accident in a car, I have dropped my phone MANY times.
Not to mention that if my car is dented insurance covers it, what insurance covers a dent in my phone?
Big difference.
It's kind of funny. Of all the things to get uptight about, someone choosing to use a case with their phone is really something to be up in arms about.

You do realize that people have different preferences right? I wouldn't be caught dead with any sort of an Otterbox.
A witch! A witch! A witch! We found a witch! We've got a witch! A witch! A witch! We have found a witch. May we burn her?
Whatever dude, I put my iPhone 6+ on my desk at work, and after 30 min of lying on my desk, it bent.
Lol I need to stop, I just think that much of this, "my phone bent is lies". Some stories sound as ridiculous as the one that I just made up.
