iPhone 6+ that HASN'T bent?

That's what I thought. So unless you use your hands with the intention of bending it - like unboxtherapy did - or you sit on it then it shouldn't bend in normal pants front pocket correct? Even without a case?
I came close to buying the 6+edge but something in my guy said to stay away from Samsung no matter how nice the phone my look....

Have 6 Plus coming up on year, no bend. 60% Apple leather case, 40% without. Carry in front pants pockets, dress and jeans as well as shirt pocket.
Actually some folks with bent iPhones may have bent them taking them out of cases, judging from a few threads I read through. I nearly bent mine trying to remove it from a rigid plastic case that had a death grip on my iPhone. Fortunately I saw where it was flexing and adjusted my efforts accordingly.
I have a cheap flexible case on mine to purely protect from scratches, it would do nothing to stop bends.
It has been in and out of fairly tight jeans, thrown in my rucksack and generally used without any thought to it bending and still looks brand new without even a hint of a bend.
One thing though, don't go buying a 6plus until after next Wednesday......

I've had my 6+ since Jan. 2015 and no bent whatsoever. I do have it in an Apple Leather case. If I have it in any of my pockets, I'm aware of it, and take it out when getting into my car or seated.
I've had mine since Jan. 2015 as well and no signs whatsoever of any sort of bending with an Apple leather case. I also keep it in my pocket while getting into tight spaces where I can feel pressure being applied to the phone and have had no issues.
You certainly can't go wrong with an iPhone 6+. The S6 Edge/Plus is a beast though. There's currently no better screen. The camera, too, is one of the very best. Samsung have outdone themselves with this device as well as the current competition.
I baby the hell out of mine, always have it in a case, and never have sat on it, and mine is bent. Were I not on Next and therefore interested in selling when the new one comes out, I'd be pretty damned pissed.
Well, it's been about 8 months since I got my 6 plus. I used to put it in a case for about 2 months but I stopped. I go outside with the phone (no case) all the time. I dropped it only once, just a little dent on the corners. No visible scratches and I periodically check to see if my phone is bent, about once a week or so. It never bent. I carry it either in my hand or in my bag, I never put it in my pocket unless I'm wearing baggy shorts with pockets.
I don't exactly baby the phone, but I usually don't give much thought to the phone's safety when I'm handling it. I probably should, given that I use the phone all the time. Not sure what I'd do without it.

I've had mine since February, I use several different cases or I'll go naked in my front pocket. I do a lot of bending at work & my phone isn't bent either.
Mine bent in a case. I bent it back, so it's now straight. I had my screen replaced as I was concerned the bending could've loosened the screen or something.
I've now noticed, centre of the bottom volume button, a dent by the screen, like a dip in the metal. I think it's been caused from the screen being replaced. Nothing major, but just shows how soft the aluminium is.
I would imagine the 6S could still have issues with it denting etc, maybe a little stronger in terms of bending, but it is a phone made out of aluminium.
I shan't be getting the 6S but I think if the 6 had had OIS and the full HD screen, I would've gone for that.
