How to stop 6 Plus bending?

So it's not Apple's problem for the phone bending under every day usage?
Okay, thanks for clearing that up.
I have a leather case on my plus and put it in my front right pocket, and have had no issues so far.
I don't know if this is an actual problem yet.
Have we seen more then a couple incidents?
If the problem is similar to the iPhone 5 then I'd say it's not a major problem. I have never had had a problem with the iPhone 5 or 5s.
Hard to say, if it was truly a widespread issue I think we'd have seen this brought up outside of a forum.

Just use it as you have been using it.
You shouldn't have even made this thread.
Its a non issue.
Of course in your mind you know you're just trolling.

weld some graphite strips to the sides of the phone. That'll stop it from bending. And possibly working.

Seriously though I really don't get how people are bending their 6+. One possibility I can think of is back pocket and sitting on it. I dunno, I don't get it.
I'm actually getting a custom made belt buckle to put my iPhone 6 Plus on. That way it is always in the right position.
Suit pants for 18 hours. He drove with it in his pants pocket, dancing at a wedding, etc. Who knows how it got bent. Did someone sit on his lap? Not enough details.
Use a hard slider case.
Or
Don't place it in your back pocket and sit on it.
Either one will suffice.
Simple, don't expect to put it in your pant pocket. Enjoy the large screen, but just know that expectations on pocketability need tempering.
People I know who have Samsung Notes will either carry it in their jacket or a handbag/pack of some sort. I've never seen anyone pulling a Note out of their pant pocket. This is no different than trying to park in a compact space. If you have a large SUV, you're probably better off avoiding those spots.

Now that skinny jeans and low rise pants have migrated over to men's fashion, this means tighter fit and shorter pockets, thus less space for ginormous phones. Less space means less free play and more pressure points -- more than enough pressure to bend metal.
So, I guess the solution is for cargo pants to come back in style.
