I talked to a guy at the Apple store about this and he said essentially the 
same thing. If you’re going to put it in your back pocket and then sit on it, 
yeah, it’ll probably bend. But then, who puts $$$ smart phones in their back 
pocket and then sits on it? That’s right, a fool with very little common sense 
and  a lot of money to burn.
What’s the saying? “a fool and his money are soon parted”.

BTW: I thought Glen’s little pun was about as funny and appropriate as it gets 
under the circumstances. 
"Laughter is the best medicine"? Wow, I’m just full of little sayings this 
morning;-)
