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.

It is possible that there are some defects due to heat and some bent out of the box.  At the very least, it seems like most of them are factory problems and arrive that way from what I can tell.  I can only speak cor what I have seen and concluded in my own research, but anything is possible.  Just because we have not seen proof that some may have bent, does not mean that none of them are I suppose.
