Is it bent!? Am I too blind to see it?!

Hi, I recently got a 6. Great device, great upgrade from a 4S with iOS8. Apps load instantly, it's big, it's a nice phone... except for the bending issue.

Over the past month I've read a lot about the bend-gate, seen lots of reports. Some of them justified as to why the phone got bent, other people claiming they had their phone in a case, no pocket and it bent. Other people say it needs a reasonable amount of force to bend, others say it's very prone to bending and it can bend like that.

I'm a really OCD person and so I check my phone to see if it's bent almost every day. I know I have a problem. I have never put the phone inside a pocket, never stressed it. The only stress this thing has been under is switching cases and I do that with the most extreme care. For the life of me I cannot see a bend. I've looked at the phone under different light angles, I lay it face down on a surface, it's just dead flat. Pressing it doesn't make it move or wobble. I wasn't even going to stress this, however when I press the edge of the upper right corner, the bottom left corner is GENTLY raised up. Doesn't wobble, but the corner gets raised a bit. I think it's probably the curved screen but I don't know. I tried with my 4S which is obvs supposed to be flat but it does it too!! Weird thing is if I press the bottom left corner the upper right corner doesn't get raised. It's just this one. Other corners do not produce the problem either. Do you think I should be worried about this? Could it actually be a bend I just don't see? Like someone told me the phone is slightly bent and I almost lost my mind.

Ι googled this and found other people with the same thing, 5/5S users and 6/6 Plus too. Upper corner pressed, bottom gets slightly raised up, no visible bending.

I know it's one of these threads that have been created a million times. I'm sorry for taking a forum entry for this, but I would really like to see other people's inputs, if it does it and if it indeed is because of the curved screen. I do think the bending incident was blown out of proportion and I do think the phone won't bend just by sneezing, but when I saw my corner get kinda raised up I started worrying it might be bent and I'm too blind to see it. I'm too OCD for my own good when it comes to this.

Attaching some photos. Please take a look at them and tell me if you see a bend cos I honestly cannot.
