Hello Kyle Grn,

This is, indeed, normal.
When using the device or charging the battery, it is normal for it to get warm. The exterior of the device functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the device to the cooler air outside.
iOS devices: Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures

Warm is normal, hot to the touch is not.

It's still under warranty... take it in to Apple if you think it's too hot.
