Hey,
I always use a hardshell case on my rMBP and 99% of the time in clamshell mode on an external display.
Recently tried to pack it for travel when I realized it was somehow bend. It's not really bend on one edge its somehow bent in the middle of the macbook. I can bounce it back and forth when typing on it, which is really annoying. It's a 2015 machine - is there anything I can do or do I write it off?
Everything else seems to work fine except the occasional black screen. Maybe it's past it's shelf life?
 
Check the battery, prolong time in clamshell mode with AC power source may kill the battery (due to excessive heat). And a fault batter may deform the case from inside.

Anyway, even you use you laptop as desktop 99% of them time, you better ask for help on the MacBook Pro forum (laptop). Here is the Mac Pro forum (desktop) :D
