Not to mention that you really have to be mindful of the very small percentage of iPad owners who are represented in a place like this. MacRumors is a site for tech enthusiasts, and presumably primarily Apple enthusiasts (past and present) who generally expect a higher degree of quality in their products. So you’ve got essentially perfectionist geeks gathered in a big echo chamber...of course the negative is going to get amplified.
Don’t forget too that Apple tends to engender strangely hateful responses from those who don’t like their products, and so those people will troll Apple communities and amplify every little problem, real or perceived, into a “gate” type event. I’m not dismissing every or even most complaints as trolling, but I would advise that you not lend unwarranted authority to strangers in an Internet forum.

I have the 11” but I too throw mine in a backpack almost every day and take it to and from work or when I’m out and about, and I’ve never worried about it being bent. I don’t sit on my backpack or toss it around, but I’m not anymore careful with my 11 than I was with my 10.5, and I’m not worried about it at all. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t be careful with your very expensive tablet, but it’s not something you should be preoccupied with either. Just use general care and common sense and you’ll be good to go.
