Like we said earlier, it's apparently a super-tablet news-day, and it continues with another Nexus 9 story. This one is not too pretty though, and in fact, could end up being Google's equivalent of Apple's #bendgate. In the animated version of the image above (shown in the thread below), the outer casing on the new HTC-made Google Nexus 9 tablet appears to be very bendable, allowing its user to easily push it inward with gentle pressure.

Considering this is supposed to be a "premium" device, it's a bit disconcerting to see this. According to the report, the tablet pops itself back into place very easily, so it's at least not as bad as what some iPhone 6 Plus users are experiencing. Still, it's disappointing to see something like this make it through manufacturing. If you have the Nexus 9, let us know if you experienced this too.

Here's that animated version of the bendy Nexus 9 case:
