I am adusting to the location of the lock switch, but this is my problem as well. Almost wish screenshot would be lock + volume button. That feels nice

It can, but it's not worth compromising your display quality and usability literally every second you're using the phone.

Can someone recommend me a good iPhone 6 (4.7) case that is sturdy and has a good grip? Appreciate it.

In light of all this bendgate stuff, I'm still going to go ahead with waiting for the 5.5. The question seems to be that the original plan of getting the silicon case probably won't cut it. So, what's my best option for a hard case?

This is gonna sound silly, but since this is my first phone ever, is it true that I should let the battery run down completely the first time? I'm hearing conflicting reports.
No you don't have to do that.

it's not true. This is a fact. Everyone who says otherwise is wrong.
And I'm shaking my head so hard at bend gate. Really guys.
iphone 6 seems to be tough enough in bending test unlike the 6 plus

Good to know. I was somewhat considering a 6+ but still favored the standard 6. Now I'm 100% sure I'm going to get the standard 6.

Are there any reports of the Plus bending while in a case?
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
Hahahahaha.
Not from what I've seen or what's been posted in this thread. A case should solve the problem.

It's made from the same material design and thickness as the plus so this also shows there is an anomaly of people getting their phones bent
And 3 of the 7 iphones bent on macrumors were 6 not plus
The 6 is actually thinner than the +, isn't it?

Yeah, 6 is 6.9mm. Plus is 7.1mm.

Good to know. I was going to get a case, anyway.

Got about 9 hours of battery with 4% left after first full charge. Basic email, web browsing, text message, camera stuff. I also have a dynamic wallpaper on.
Would easily go over 10 hours if I didnt use Lyft. That shit eats up battery so quickly, its ridiculous. Ate up like 12% in half an hour. Jeez.

how would a malleable leather or rubber case solve the problem? Maybe an Otterbox or something but the apple ones, I doubt would solve anything.

Cant stop praising the battery life on the 6 Plus
Woke up at 8:00-8:30 this morning and it snow 3:30am the next day.. still at 65%

Regarding the bending:
There's a video of a guy applying pressure directly to the center of the iPhone 6. People say that if you put it in your pocket, sometimes when wearing skinny jeans, it might bend your phone. I still think that this is a very case-to-case situation and that obviously applying direct pressure to the center of a phone using all the force in your fingers is different from sitting on it, mostly applying pressure around the entire phone.
I'm not denying that it shouldn't bend that easily when using your hands only, just saying that it might not have to be as bad as people say. I still advice everyone to be careful, though, and buy a hard cover to protect your phone ASAP.

They wouldn't. You would need to go with a hard case.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Anyone in the Houston area have any success finding 64GB 6+ models at AT&T stores?
So my 6 Plus is supposed to be delivered tomorrow and I've had no shipment notice, called my carrier and they said they had no idea what's going to happen because the demand was far outstripping their stock. Seems they aren't giving phones first-come, first-serve, it's all up to luck.

Dude, out of the millions of phones sold this past week, only a handful were naturally bent, the rest were all "bent to see if it bends". That's just like the drop-tests and shattered screens.

It won't bend. I don't get this bending thing. Don't sit on your phone.

Most of the people with the problem didn't have it in their back pocket, so that point is irrelevant.

It they had it in a front or side pocket and kept it in there despite feeling pressure between phone and leg it's no less stupid.

So they say. I still think the whole thing is bullshit.
I don't sit on my phone, but I do regularly sit with it in my front pocket. Fairly tight trousers/jeans for long periods of time, and I don't want to make the mistake of forgetting it's in there and find that the phone is damaged in any way. I've already accepted that I won't be able to do this with the 6+, but I'll be beyond pissed (both with myself and the phone) if I forget and there will be fuck all I can do about it I would think, AppleCare or not.
As I mentioned previously, I'm far more disturbed by the starting state of the phone in that bend test than the results of severe physical pressure designed to test the boundaries of its rigidity.
from Facebook's blog, it simply says the coming weeks

I need to mail my 4S to AT&T for the $200 rebate. My 6 is restored with the 4S backup and working perfectly so the next step is to wipe my 4S.
How do I wipe my 4S and is there anything else I need to do before sending it to AT&T? Anywhere that I need to detach or deactivate the device before it's gone forever?

Three Steps...
1. Turn Off iMessage

2. Turn off Find my iPhone
Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone > Switch Find my iPhone to "Off"
3. Wipe Your Phone
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings > Confirm/Yes

Question about the battery life on the 6 vs 6+.
I'm currently on a Nexus 4 and am lucky to get 2 hours of screen on time throughout the day. If I'm out of the house and not on WiFi for a more than a couple of hours of the day, then my battery is basically dead by 8 or 9PM.
Will the battery life on the 6 be leaps and bounds better than what I'm experiencing on my Nexus 4? Or will I have to go for the 6+ to see a real improvement in battery life?
Basically I'm down to deciding between a 6 with more storage or a 6+ with a bigger battery. Don't want to pass that $299 subsidized price point.
