I like the iPhone 6, but it is too delicate

I'm not overly hard on phones. This new phone is bent / warped and has a scratch on the front screen. Has never been in a back pocket.
'weagle you are too rough on your phone' No rougher on this than my older iPhones that never scratched nor bent.
Is Apple replacing bent phones?
Inb4 Android / Blackberry, etc. I don't like those operating systems.

Had my iPhone 6 here since the release date. Stays in a pocket, dropped a few times. Only have a little plastic slim Spigen case. No warping, no scratches.
I think just the opposite. Very impressed with the scratch resistance of the screen.

This Passport can take a kick and then some. Stainless steel sides.

Haven't had an issue with mine. I have the little flimsy Apple leather case, more because it makes the phone easier to grip than for the actual protection it provides.

No problems here and I've had the 6+ since release.

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.

Me too. And I have the thinnest possible case on it.

Do people actually keep a phone and keys or other metallic objects in the same pocket? Seems like that begs for scratches.

why didn't you get a case for it?

Always have and never had a problem with scratches.

My six hasn't bent. I keep it in my front pocket with keys. It has just as many scratches as my other older iPhones(no huge scratches that make it a problem). It's a phone that will be replaced in a year or two. I don't see a big deal with a little scratch. I own this device, it doesn't own me.

I have a thin clear case on it. Might need something thicker.

I have the iPhone leather case which is very thin and my 6+ is in my back pocket a fair amount of time. No bends and the only scratch is on the screen protector that I put on it a coupleof months ago.

Probably no difference in construction of the phones but you should've gotten the 6 plus

If you keep keys in the same pocket as your phone you're begging for scratches, and you deserve them when they happen.
