So, are there any bend-resistant iPhone cases now?

In what way? You talk as if a bent iPhone is the norm....

When the truth is if you get all stupid and put your iPhone in your tight back pocket wearing tight jeans it will bend if you sit down...as will any phone.....

Don`t be stupid and you will not have a bent phone!

Not the point. It's trending! Trends = $$$

Has anyone created a case that's advertised as bend-resistant?

I seriously have a bend in my nexus 5. I never use a case and keep it in my front pocket. I've recently noticed that it will not sit flat screen side down like my wife's nexus 5. So somehow, somewhere, I slightly bent my nexus 5.

Everyone jumped to be defensive when he was actually just curious to find if there were any ridiculous companies capitalizing on the nonsense, amirite?

okay, my bad......yet if you think about it there really is no pressing need or even a market for a "bend resistant" case........

Scandals tend to stick in people's minds. Some unscrupulous marketing department will decide it's a good idea to take advantage. I would guess the most mainstream won't risk getting on Apple's bad-side to make a quick buck though.

Bendgate to me is a non issue. What IS an issue is the total [mess] that is IOS8.

No profanity in the tech forums

Is it still that bad? =-O I haven't updated my 5S from the last iOS7 release. I do have 8.1 on my iPad but haven't noticed anything bad.
