Hey guys, I have the typical bent iPhone problem. Is there a way to safely bend it back. Apple will replace it for free but I have it jail broken and would rather go back to android if I can't have a JB iPhone. And if they replace it, it wil come with 8.3 and I won't be able to jailbreak it. So can I bend it back safely ?
Is this a good question?

I think your best bet here is to go to Apple and get it replaced for free.
Reforming the case is not a long term solution and in fact you're likely to kill your phone in the process (bending it back). Think of it this way take a paper clip and bend it in half note the amount of pressure it took. Now bend it back it will take less as the metal has fatigued. Bending the paper chips one or two more times and it snaps!
As far as jail breaking iOS 8.3 I'm sure someone is working on it now Evasi0n Jailbreak iOS 8.3.
If you can't wait ... Still get it replaced by Apple, then sell it and get an iPhone with the older iOS (or Android) that works for you.

You can but it involves using 3rd party tools to bend it back. They are expensive.

What tools? How about a link?
I thought you weren't allowed to post links to 3rd parties?
yes but are you sure that yuor house is not brokrn, if yes after correction wil be very easy bend again, if you get a set of housing an replace, JB sure, I agree
Yes links are looked at. If a lot of your links are to the same supplier, people will think you are SPAMing. But a link to a tool, support for your answer, to other answers, to a part or a guide increases the validity of your answer and shows you took the time to research your answer. Probably a half of my answers have links.
Ok thanks Mayer i did not know this. The tool im referring to is the g-tool housing straightener. Although I do agree with Dan that it is not a long term solution and the price of the tool is much more than the price of a new housing. I would say buy a new housing and follow the guide on ifixit to install.
