flimsy rear bumper?

I happened to touch the rear bumper because there was some dust on it and noticed how weak/flimsy the rear bumper is. it goes in and flexes easily when you push in with your hand, I thought it would be solid just like other parts on the car.

Remember, the piece you touched is the bumper cover, not the bumper itself. As topaz330 stated, flex is normal/inherent. That's why you see those cars with the indented corner bumper covers because they backed into a pole. An aesthetic issue vs a safety one.
