Really? Mines always in my pocket and hasn't bent at all. The only issue I've had with it was from when I put it in my coat pocket, bent over and had it not only fall onto the pavement, but slide a good foot or two before stopping. No dent, but it did scratch up the camera casing a bit and nicked a corner. I was surprised that was the only damage I did... And that's also the day I put a case on it.

I'm just using the little silicone apple case and have had no issues. With all the hype surrounding the durability of this phone when it launched, I'm really impressed with it thus far.

Eta: I also constantly find myself putting it in the same pocket as my keys and haven't had a single scratch to the screen yet. *knocks on wood*

The key scratches happen with any phone that has an oleophobic coating. They're small scratches that don't affect the glass itself and are only visible under harsh lighting, but they tend to drive my OCD nuts. Thank god for cheap tempered glass screen protectors.

Honestly, we should all just accept that we're carrying thin computers with glass screens in our pockets every day, and treat them as such. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. My iPhone 4s got scratched and scuffed to hell, but it took many hits to the pavement without even cracking. I can look at my twice-as-big Nexus 6 and know without question that this surface area of glass would not withstand the same kind of abuse or impact. Yes, engineering and materials used will play a role in durability, but not as big of a role as physics and luck.
