I bought my iPhone 6 (64 GB, Space Gray) back in March '15 and I noticed it was bent last week when I was sending a text message and noticed the phone stuck out toward me unusually. I'm not really sure what was the exact cause, but I can tell you I didn't do anything dramatic to cause it. In other words, I did not sit on it, or roll over it, or any of that.
That being said, I will admit that I do wear skinny jeans...really skinny jeans actually, and I do leave my phone in my front pocket a lot, even when it's really hot. The combination of heat and tight pressure from my pockets when sitting down probably put a lot of pressure on the phone and bent it.
Apple was kind enough to replace it free of charge, but I'm not sure what I should do now. I've thought about putting it up on ebay and getting maybe $600 for it since I got a new phone. I could then use the money and put it toward the 6S, where allegedly the bending issue is fixed.
On the other hand, I really don't want to spend another $200-300 on the 6S after only owning the 6 for like 5 months. I was hoping to keep this thing for 2-3 years. I was previously using a Diztronic case, which is made of silicone. I'm guessing this isn't a good idea since the silicone case isn't very rigid. I thought about buying a thick and stiff case. Perhaps that will give the phone some reinforcement and prevent it from being crushed by my tight jeans and fat thighs.
Any recommendations on what I should do now?
