Forgot about pockets, Uri Geller knows the real reasons that phones bend:
Why is iPhone 6 prone to bending?

“There are two possible explanations,” Uri Geller, the psychic illusionist famous for bending spoons with his mind, told MarketWatch. “Either the phone is so seriously thin and flimsy that it is bendable with mere physical force, which I cannot believe given the extensive tests Apple would have done. Or — and this is far more plausible — somehow the energy and excitement of the 10 million people who purchased iPhones has awakened their mind powers and caused the phones to bend.”
Geller thinks Apple should make his a spokesman so that people will stop blaming shoddy construction.

Apparently, the news of the iPhone 6 bending are way overblown by the media. There are several sources for this and here are a couple:

http://www.geekwire.com/2014/apple-iphone-6-plus-bending-problem-extremely-rare/

And yeah. Uri Geller is a pill, isn't he?

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
