Don't. Make Apple replace your iPhone. It is not your fault if they constructed a phone that bends uner normal usage
If you are using it normally it won't bend. Simple as that.
I see two options. A, don't wear skinny jeans. B, don't wear skinny jeans while using the 6+.
How to stop 6 Plus bending?
One thing to consider: the temperature body has influence in aluminum flexibility and respectively the bent.
Since you dont use tight clothes, use it! And when you wear a coat or jacket, use its pockets since the iPhone will be secured there against acidental falls or thieves...
PS: The main thing to think is making yourself most confortable possible...

Your body heat isn't enough to increase the malleability of aluminum in any appreciable way.
I get that, it's just that a lot of people were commenting about sitting on the phone in the back pants pocket or wearing tight jeans - neither of which reportedly happened. Maybe it was shipped to him bent and he just noticed it.
It's a really big phone. Don't put it in your pants pockets unless they're really big. How people didn't foresee this issue is beyond me.
This is a silly thing to say. Agreed sitting on your phone is not all that smart, but you don't put a laptop or TV in your pocket.
I'll file this under: Terrible analogies
Yep, get a cool phone like the iPhone and go back to the 90's with a nice big pair of baggy jeans. You'll look out of touch until you whip the phone out! lol
They make it out of aluminum, people bend them through thoughtless behavior and then complain. If they made them out of steel or something less likely to bend, these same people would complain about the weight. 
can't win.
can't win.You can call it whatever you want, but if you do something with any object that falls outside of what is considered normal usage for it, guess what? It may break. I know that may come as quite a shock to some people, but it doesn't change the fact that it's true.
please stop the non-issue threads. Good grief, what's next to show? Perhaps putting the iPhone 6+ in the freezer will stop it from working and this is a big issue because it's meant to be able to put stored in a freezer
I'm hoping putting on a decent case like the Otterbox Communter will help the structural integrity of the phone.
I'll consider the Lifeproof if they can design it in a way that won't increase the dimensions too much.

I completely do not agree the idea that you have to change your life style for a phone. The simple solution would be return the 6+ and get a 6. I am not saying that would completely solve this matter, but it would be much better.
However, if you really like your 6+, buy a hard case might help.
Depends what your life style is really and how you usually use your phone

I wish they made a version of this case for the iphone 6.

I took the stupid screen out of it and put a screen protector on instead. If they'd make it similar, except thinner without the flaps on everything, I'd buy it.

There is no case that is stiff enough to stop your phone from getting bent. Even the famous OtterBox is flexible and will allow your phone to bend with enough pressure applied to it.
Common sense reveals it would have great battery life and structural rigidity had Apple made it thicker.
They'd also be able to brag.... Something they love doing, that they have this sturdy long lasting smartphone. And a real reason to be proud.
Yet I'm sure their vanity is pumped up over how skinny the Bendy Big iPhone is.
J. Ive can take credit for this unique free feature.
" iPhone 6, handle with extreme caution"

This will be interesting to watch. Is 6 plus bending like a shark attack, dramatic but very rare. Or is this a design flaw or production problem that occurs somewhat frequently or worse for users?
BTW, I think the idea that people need to somehow not put pluses in pockets and such is ridiculous. If you can't use the phone like other phones, larger or not, something is very wrong.

Loose fitting pants. More extreme options include a fanny pack, holster, or perhaps a lanyard. I could see entire fashion industries popping up to support this!
iLanyard love it haha
