      I'm with Giles here, I use my phone (Nexus 5) as a tool and I don't care about it at all. No fancy leather case, no protection foil, etc. I also sit on it regularly lol.

      It basically still looks like on day one except some minor scratches.

            not about bending or breaking. but putting a phone in your back pocket is fine. but dont you ever find sitting on your phone in the back just uncomfortable? like from my nokia, sony ericsson to iphones, i just never could do it.

              Wow G, that blows. Ive dropped my 5 the exact same way prob 4-5 times and its just got some scratches. Thats shitty
              I carry my phone in my back pocket all the time but rarely sit on it. Only time is if im in a rush and thats only my car or comp chair quickly (both are nicely padded). Im 225lbs and am a lil scared of breaking it and under most circumstances it is uncomfortable

                Always carry my 5 in my back pocket, but always remove it before sitting down. Find this discussion very interesting, but let's face it, these aren't unbreakable  objects, so a degree of care should be exercised.

                  I'm overprotective with my belongings. I always get some sort of insurance on my apple devices and usually have a case for them. There's no way I would sit on my glass iPhone though, let alone any other electronics.

                    My phone isn't nearly as big as my IH-MW, so it doesn't bother me to sit on it. Maybe my white ass is too fat!

                      Steve Jobs must have read this thread and decided that as I am such a philistine, he would teach me a lesson.  This happened to my 5S yesterday…

                      Any of you 6ers want to get rid of a 5S?

                          Finally, someone else who doesn't sit on their phone. Clearly we're the odd one's out here. Amazing and exciting. Will be chatting about in the office over coming weeks to see where people stick their phones!

                            I'm sure plenty of people don't sit on them, but as phones get larger the front pocket's a non-starter, especially for jeans-wearers.

                                The 6+ is perfectly fine in my front pocket.

                                  Just to reassure you, Snowy, I don't sit on my phone either.

                                  I'm also not very careful with it, and have dropped it many, many, many times.  I'm on my second case- the first one was cracked at all four corners (phone is still pristine; Seidio Surface cases ftw).  When I put it in a pocket, it's in the right rear one.  Also just for reference, my phone is bigger than the 6+, especially with the case, and it fits fine in the front pocket, but it's easier to get in and out of the back pockets

                                      Yeah my 6" screen phone and case fit in the front pocket too but its a hassle to get in and out and (sorry Gav) would make ridiculous looking fades because it would destroy the creases on the left side of the jean. Not that that's a real consideration, convenience trumps all n

                                          There's a review of the iPhone 6 Plus on the Register.

                                          http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/09/23/apple_iphone_6_plus_review/

                                          What really got me was this: "Eyebrow-raisingly, therefore, the iPhone 6 Plus renders a 2208x1242 display downscaled to 1920x1080." That seems badly like a thought out solution, but it's probably the easiest way to work around API limitations and hardware availability.

                                            Gross. I was reading a rumor that the Nexus 6 is going to have a 498 PPI screen. These arms races around specs aren't good for consumers. I can't imagine driving so many pixels is at all helpful for battery considerations.

                                            Think it, be it.
