is is just an isolated incident of course there are some products that do have a defect, Apple says only 10 people complain about it out of 10 million... so dont worry about it
Well, watch this one too. Bottom line, with your gorgeous device, a case is sadly needed, and don't risk possible bents in due time by placing your precious device in your pant pockets. As of now, Apple assumes no liability, but will offer free replacement only under warranty and after a thorough inspection.
