Looks like an opportunity for someone to build reinforced cases for $150 apiece.

It's not like they weren't aware that aluminum isn't exactly a material that will flex and bounce back. Apple prides itself on quality of build, so I wonder how they'll handle this if it becomes a widespread complaint. I suppose they'd have to remanufacture the phones, as I can't imagine placing a support bar or case on them and leaving customers satisfied with that.

Moon, This bending thing is making the rounds on many of the Apple sites. It could be a problem if it is really widespread and is something that Apple has to deal with. I doubt most people would put that beast in their pants pocket because it just would not fit, but just the same, this will need to be looked into. Also looking at the picture in your post, it does look like a lot of pressure is being placed on the phone. Is this really relevant? I guess time will tell. It will be interesting to see where Apple shares trade in the premarket. Might give some idea about where this story may go in the short term. Good luck out there. Neal
