By now you've probably heard about the iPhone 6's bending problem, now called BendGate or Bendghazi.

Whether you think BendGate is actually an issue, you're probably wise to slap a case on that iPhone 6 and save yourself the worrying. Not least of which because it's slippery.

One case maker, Miami-based Gresso, claims to have made a case "that will protect the iPhone 6 from bending."

Gresso's case is made of aluminum - just like the iPhone 6 - but the company claims it will withstand 300 pounds of force before bending.

Consumer Reports determined over the weekend that the iPhone 6 can withstand up to 70 pounds of force before bending.

Gresso's case will run you $90. It appears the case is only available for the iPhone 6 currently, not the 6 Plus. That's interesting, because people have mostly claimed that the iPhone 6 Plus is the one that has the bending problem.

It's a sleek-looking bumper case, albeit a little pricey. The only downside is the unsightly hinge at the top of the phone.

Maybe that's the price of peace of mind.
