I've only seen a couple comments about this, and I don't know if the problem is an injection molding problem, a "user pushing too hard" problem or just a general design problem. It does mean I make sure to press the bar in the middle, but then I'm a tall woman with big hands and very long fingers, so it's not really a problem for me. (Yet.)
If you look carefully at the "Next Page" bar on the right side and play with it a bit -- even turn it over and examine it from the bottom -- you'll see that it's designed to slide to the right rather than compress down. If you sort of "push" it to the right rather than depressing it, you get better results and avoid warping the right bottom corner.

You should take advantage of the 1 year warranty and contact Amazon for repair or replacement. Once it's repaired or replaced, use a little bit of velcro to attached the Kindle to it's case, it won't go anywhere without major assistance.
Try reseating the battery and then press the reset button on the bottom.
