It bends very easily, just not like you'd think. If you have a wallet case for your back pocket, over time the credit cards pushing in the center of the phone will cause the phone to bend. You'll get a bend outward from the metal on the lower volume button, which will eventually crack. I should know, it's happened to both my original 6P and the replacement 6P I ordered after the first one broke. If you're able to get a different phone, get a different phone. People who say this doesn't bend don't know what they're talking about... Unfortunately, I listened to those people
