Fanboy logic : it hasn't happened to me so it's fake without a doubt and only my opinion is correct
I actually sent my Switch in yesterday because the back appeared to be bubbling out, rather than bending the whole console. I think some of these "warping" cases are battery going bad. I sent mine in on the chance that is happening after my 3DS batter bulged out. But judging from videos and the like on temps, the system does not get hot enough to just bend like that. It's not possible. I've pulled my switch out after a hard Zelda session and it wasn't even that hot. If anything the battery is warmest.
Yea mine sat completely flat on the face (screen) side. The back was pushing off from the console. That doesn't seem right to me.
And for anyone worried about docked heat, I have a feeling a 3rd party dock is going to make it's way that either has better vents or active fans pushing more air into the rear intake on the switch itself. I considered a USB fan to help or to remove the back panel to allow more flow.

Sure seems like this could be related to batteries. I once had a lithium-ion battery get big in my phone.
I'm pretty sure if the battery is expanding, it's dangerous.

I double checked. If this is a battery issues, the battery is likely to explode or release toxic gasses soon.

This is what my OG 3DS battery looked like after 3 years. I noticed the charge would go up and down randomly. This is why i was worried about my Switch back cover bulging out.

Lol, turns out the guy had Switch sitting on top of the vents of his surround sound receiver. These generally kick out a lot more heat than any console. I'd be more surprised if his Switch hadn't curved in those conditions.

He posted an update video and showed where he has it positioned. Looks like an older receiver, too.
I appreciate that the guy isn't making a big deal out of it, though. Just the internet blowing things out of proportion as usual.

the warping is not at the battery, it's over the normal circutboards.
A reciver... a reciver... no wonder it bends then... why not just put it on a radiator instead?

I am still leaning on the authenticity of this, but there has been more than one report. Need to find out more about their situation. Regardless of the fact that 99.9% of switch owners do not have this issue, it would be nice to know if it's a possible problem to be on the safe side.
