Unfortunately you could be hit with a bend or touch disease any time. However, due to this being much more out in the open, they might negotiate.
I know when mine was bent, I talked them down in price on replacement.
It took sitting around, talking to every level of management, and being patient but I got this done.
To be honest, I still think my Otterbox was partially at fault somehow for the bend in my purse. This is just my opinion but the case was so snug with hard plastic and practically no give! So if it had pressure put on it, I can easily see that pressure applied to the phone.
