These affairs man... Seems so exaggerated. What would you expect from 5mm slate with electronics inside. They made chassis from metal, so at least it doesn't break but just deforms. If you want something sturdier, don't buy 5mm device of this size. In reality I guess many people put it into all kinds of cases anyways and treat it carefully, no matter whether it's bend prone or not...
