Twisting of the device

[acejavelin]

Anybody else getting their device twisted? I have noticed several times now my phone isn't sitting flat on the table, I pick it up and look at it and its obviously twisted just a tiny bit so that two opposite corners are touching the table and I can rock it back it forth slightly... I can easily bend it back flat with minimal force and it sits dead flat. Pop it in my pocket for a few hours and it's twisted slightly again.

Not sure if this is a real issue, or just normal by design.

Not yet. Mine still lays perfectly flat.

Mine is fine, but the whole 'polycarbonite' thing can be concerning... I know cases can suck, but for something like our define, it's necessary, sadly... But I guess that's what we get for not purchasing the actual Pixel 3 ??

Ill take something durable like Polycarbonite over a glass phone any day. It was a main reason I didnt go with the Zenfone 6, OP7 Pro, and Pixel 3 XL. Heavy and delicate is not a good combo.

I miss my OnePlus 3 which was aluminium.. that was and always will be my favorite phone from back in the day and it was great!

I noticed this on the day I bought mine, but straightened it out and haven't noticed it since - thought I was the only one!

Nope... I have tried various things now that I have noticed it, like putting it in different pockets, and it still twists a little bit. Seems to be engineered that way, it never flexes very much and doesn't seem to be any damage to anything (so far).

Ah, that's annoying! I haven't noticed it since, but was super annoyed when I first noticed it as I came from a Nexus 6P which also bent, but bent permanently

Mine has the same problem. I have had a case on this since the second week of owning it, previous to the case I never had this twist or bend problem.

Hell mine is in a Spigen case. It's been dropped, stepped on, and still it lays flat.. Mine gets flung around all the time in my work truck.. It hits the floor more than it stays on the dash. That's probably why it gets stepped on a lot.. Me not knowing it's there until I actually look for it and find it under my feet. LOL

have the same "problem". for me it's just a little annoying having to unbend it sometimes. I recently bought a rhino shield case, and since then it didn't happened again... but sometimes I use it without the case and at the end of the day it's twisted like crazy, always to de same side...

it's just plastic after all, I'll take it over glass and metal phones any day

You realize the phone itself isn't completely flat, right? The camera extends past the rest of the phone case.

If you have your phone in a case, it may also not be completely flat. I have my phone in a Spegin case and the trim around the camera stick out slightly farther than the rest of the case.

Bending the phone so that it lays completely flat may actually be introducing a bend into the phone!
