keep in mind the Note 4 is made of aluminum it will have the same issue, bend metal and it does not spring back. not case will solve this issue, unless it made of steel and will not bend under normal forces.

Simple solution, do not sit on the phone. This is just more evidence of our educational system that people have not idea that metals bend when you put pressure on them.

From what I understand this is happening when people have their phones in their front pockets, not while sitting on them in the back pocket.

Apple Tests Lab.



They sold over 10M phones and they have 9 reported cases. Plus if your phone does bend because you wore your too tight hipster pants. Take it to Apple Store and get a replacement.

With Samsung. You broke it. Good bye. I had my USB cover break off, which happened to more than 9 people because it's cheap plastic. I supposedly broke it "on purpose" and they want to charge me a good amount for it. And it would take 2 weeks or more depending on if they send it to Texas or overseas. Just strange because they have a Samsung Galaxy Studio at most/all Best Buys but they always refer you to Geek Squad to "fix" the problem. $3 replacement on eBay and 2 minutes to fix. No thank you Samsung.

It all matters very little. The phone bends, cracks, malfunctions... just take it to the Apple store and a hipster will give you a new one. Try that with any other brand of phone. Toodles!

+1. The Apple fanboism is appalling. I am an iPhone used myself but sometimes I feel like switching just because the isheeps can be too much sometimes.

it got thinner,wider and the front is glass so yeah, it's gonna be fragile. I've had cell phones since 1993 and maybe damaged 5 phones but every time I give my teenage son a new phone I can guarantee it will crack in a month.

The internet detectives are doing their job and found that the original video is faked, if you look at the video and the time on the phone it is not linear, it was pieces together over various times to tell the story they want. Also you notice a Samsung Ad trailing in front of the video. Do not be surprise this was not done to get clicks and pull attention to Samsung.

So much lulz potential in that post. But I will simply say... I don't make ANY purchasing decisions based on "celebrity endorsement or use".

"I like the iPhone."

"HA. You Apple fanboi. Your phone bends like a wet noodle. Why not get the [insert Android phone of choice] that has had the same features for literally a decade before your iSheep 6?"

"I like my phone. It works for me just fine."

"Pshh. Typical sheeple consumer. Clearly not as euphoric as the Android masterrace."

"Okay."

>almost every phone thread ever

For as much bitching as there is about Apple fanboys, I always have the hardest time finding them in threads. I'd actually venture to say that there's a much more vocal amount of Droid users that feel the need to stroke their Droid dongs to let everyone know they did X first, their phone is Y inches bigger, or that a certain performance spec is Z percent faster.

Not only that, but clearly everyone in the world should want to customize every aspect of their phone. Because, my god, iOS is locked and about as free to mess with as Guantanamo Bay. /s

My phone is a Galaxy 3 from the stone age and it takes dick pics quite nicely. The zoom gets a little foggy when you try to scope in a lot to capture the landscape of my balls, but either way, I digress.


Not really sure what everyone uses their phone for, but it sounds like all the wrong reasons.
