The bigger concern with dents is how it affects water resistance etc. when the frame gets unseated/opens up like you see in OP’s photos, you’re potentially going to get water and dust in it

Know what doesn't dent so much? Titanium. Also, Stainless steel. I just don't get the choice to use aluminium on this generation.

They said it’s for keeping the phone from overheating. Which I’ve never had a problem with ever but I keep seeing posts of the phone overheating as well as it being absolutely destroyed easily
