Yes, I agree. I've also had the iPhone 6 since launch. One the second day I accidentally dropped it and the screen shattered. I was told by an Apple Genius to get AppleCare over the phone, which I did, and then I replaced my phone using that. That night, I bent it because I accidentally sat on it in my back pocket. I subsequently got this replaced under the free warranty, so frankly I'm satisfied with the level of care I've gotten from Apple regarding these problems.
In the past few months, I've gotten used to it, but I prefer my iPhone 5. I still have my iPhone 4 and 5 lying around, and the iPhone 5 is still nice to hold.
I always feel like the iphone6 is going to slip from my grasp. I never felt that with my iPhone 5. As well, the larger screen just doesn't do it for me. Too many buttons or links for "Next", etc are in the upper right or left hand corners, and I never can reach them with one hand. The overall usability of the iPhone 5 is much better.
I do like using ApplePay, and it is much easier to read websites with the iPhone6, especially when in landscape mode. In the end, I'll just adapt, but it's not like the iPhone 6 is a clear home run vs the iPhone 5, and that is probably meaningful in terms of how the pace of their innovation is slowing down.

Do people really keep phones in their back pockets?
For that matter, do people really still keep anything in their back pockets, except as an ephemeral thing that you take out after a few seconds? Sitting with things in your back pockets is known to create spinal problems.
I put my phone in my back pocket often, when I need to stick it somewhere briefly. I think in that particular case, I was picking up one of my kids, and I slid it into my back pocket, and then subsequently forgetting it was there. I never had a problem with sitting on my iPhone 5.
When I'm up and walking about, sticking my phone in my back pocket is pretty convenient - I try to remember to remove it before I sit down, but not always
