I am a first time poster to MR, and a long time reader. Only posting because I am tired of having to sort through all the bent threads to find anything. Come on folks. Do you really buy this crap? I have a pretty good gut feeling that sooner or later everyone will find out that 99% of this bendgate is coming from other phone manufacturer(s). There sure are a lot of folks buying it. I am an IT analyst that works ten-hour days with my Plus in my front pocket. Every night I ride my bike several miles. Since buying the Plus, I have logged 72 miles on my bicycle on runkeeper. I carry it right there in my front pants pocket. Just to be sure, I placed my phone on a glass table with the Apple leather case removed, and guess what?????? Its not bent. Can you believe that? I think this is all about jealousy from other manufacturers and lovers of other phones. I am coming from an HTC one, and a 4S before that. I buy what I like best when my upgrade comes around. You all need to quit worrying and enjoy your phones. Dont be an idiot and put in in your back pocket and sit on it. You bet your @ss it will bend, as will most other 5 inch plus devices. I have no loyalty to Apple or Android, but I sure do believe Apple is getting a bad rap due to rumors and lies. Sorry for the long rant.åå
