LOl Glad I will never want or own one.

......because you aren't supposed to put them in your pocket and then sit on them. I think it never occurred to them that people would do that with a larger phone.

I think it should have occurred to them that people would. I read all the time that people want a phone that will fit in their pocket. These phone most certainly would fit in most pockets. These phones are smaller than my Samsung Note 3. I put my phone in my front pocket all the time. I can see a lot of men doing this since they don't carry a purse.

I personally would never put it in my back pocket, but men are used to putting their wallet in their back pocket, so I can see them putting their phone in their back pocket also.

I also would never use a phone without a good case though. Without the case it would easily slip into most pockets.

Every man I know with a cell phone uses one of the cases that hooks to their belt, they are smart enough not to put it in a pants pocket. I've never used a case for my iphones and I've never damaged one.

Most men I know use a belt case to carry a phone. I use an Otterbox case to protect my Samsung S4 in my handbag.

This is a problem that should have been caught by Apple designers long before the iPhone 6 Plus hit the market. iPhone 6 (the smaller one) doesn't seem to have this problem.

This video is by the same guy who did the original 'bendy' video:

Look at that guy's thumbs in the video.....he's exerting tons of pressure on those phones. Who on earth would put an electronic device costing $600 (out of contract), made of glass, through that kind of abuse? And in your pocket? Sheesh.....

Hi, Cha1k! Here's one of their articles from yesterday about a variety of brands and their "bendy" problems. (Btw: I don't know anyone who carries their phone in their pants pocket.) :

Get bent: The shocking history of bent smartphones

my guys - DH and two sons - NEVER put there phones in their pockets! but they also all have cases for them that would make it a little hard to do. and my DH has one of the bigger phones like the 6S size and he uses a belt clip. the only time i see that is with the younger girls that slip them in and out of their back pockets.
