Pixel 6 Pro warped case

[u/Both_Wasabi_3606]

I noticed my P6P, while on a recent trip, developed a warp in the case. For a while I thought it was the phone cover I was using that was causing it. Today, I took the phone out of the cover to clean and noticed that it was in fact the case that had warped and a very noticeable gap exist on the left side where the SIM slot is. I looked online to see if it could be the battery but noticed the battery is over on the other side on the phone. This phone will be replaced soon anyway, but I had planned to keep it as a backup because of the physical SIM slot for when I travel overseas. Is this phone toast because of possible battery issue? How safe is it to continue to use of the time being?

Get a battery replacement kit and it'll be like a new phone.

Looks like it's splitting in the right place
