You know what I'm starting to think? Some of these aftermarket cases might be causing this. I keep hearing the stories and seeing as most say "It was in a case!" and they are showing bending in the same spots... I'm inclined to think some cases are not good for this device.
I was having a similar thought. I remember seeing a thread about some cases that were hard to get off the phone. People were describing literally having to struggle to peel these cases off. I wonder if their phones are being when trying to get this super snug cases on and off.

If pulling a case off of any other phone wouldn't bend it then it shouldn't bend the iPhone. Perhaps it does, but it shouldn't. My whole thought about this bendy thing is that, yes, a phone can bend but that the iPhone shouldn't bend any easier than say...a Note Edge, Nexus 6, or any other device. However, you're not reading reports of these phones bending.
This leads me to believe that my iPhone 6+ does, in fact, bend easier than other devices. Yet it cost the same or more than other devices. Shouldn't it be as durable, or more-so, as its competitors under the same conditions, not less?
I like my 6+ fine but the fact that I have to consider whether or not its going to bend under normal conditions, like removing a case, is simply not good. I believe Apple will address this in the next version. ...in the meantime I'll have to keep trying to be extra careful.
