You sure? Because I'd assume a manufacturing issue like this wouldn't be so consistent across the board. It may not be "normal" but it certainly seems to happen a lot. I found out mine was slightly bent earlier this year. 

I know a few people who had a bend in theirs out of the box.  I noticed I had one too when the issue went viral and I checked it out.  I got mine on launch day and to this day I have not had it bend anymore than it already was when I discovered it.  After seeing others get theirs out of the box like that, I can only conclude that mine was too.

Fact is, no one has presented any real before and after proof that they are bending due to heat.  Just people that notice a bend months later, but never really looked at it before hand.  So as far as I am concerned, they seem to be like this out of the box until solid proof has shown me otherwise.

I have no pictures to prove it (because, why would anyone take pictures from the side of their Switch?), but I can say that I'm absolutely certain that my Switch got bended a year after I got it. It's so obviously visibile and tangable whenever I pick it up, there's no way I didn't notice that before. It also happened right in the middle of the heat wave, so it makes perfectly sense.
