Hi guys looking for some advice

My Nexus 6p is less than 3 months old & I've noticed a bump on the edge in front of the power button, I initially pushed it back in and forgot about it but then today it's back! Anybody else experiencing this???

Also bought a snap on phone case took it off today to use a spiegen case and it kind of made the phone come apart just along the side were the power button is, I didn't notice until I tried to turn it back on & the button was stiff. I then realised and pushed it together which it made a snapping shut noise.

Surely this shouldn't be happening?
(Hope this makes sense)

The frame around the buttons is weaker than the rest of the chassis... There is less metal. I have seen instances where people are catching the frame when they are removing their case, putting stress on and bending the frame in exactly those points. And once aluminum bends, it gets brittle and prone to cracking.

Pretty normal for this phone when even a very small amount of stress is exerted on it. I RMA'd one for the same exact thing, as have many others.
