Getting a car to red line and placing your phone in your pocket are really.. Really drastic scenarios... But you can have your opinion and I can have mine
.
It wasn't meant to be a comparison...it was used to prove a point. You're always going to have someone who screws up their new toy some how, and because they're probably pretty pissed off about it, they're going to try to find somewhere to point the finger aside from themselves...human nature for some. In the end, I've put my phone in my pocket several times, and have walked a lot with it that way (as well as driving my car that way and running up and down stairs that way). It's not bent at all.
Don't know what to tell you...you're going to have people who damage their phones in what they consider "normal, everyday use", but most of us, if we observed it, would probably see it coming a mile away.
Like I said, if you want to buy into this crap, go right ahead...your waste of time.
