Dented cases - how much is acceptable?

[NativeCraft]

How much denting in the case should be allowed before tossing in the trash?
I understand that dents in the main part of the case will usually flatten back out upon next firing, and the die straightens out the case neck sufficiently.

Little dents on the case from extraction, or on the mouth are acceptable. Gouges, deep dents, cases that were stepped on..I discard.

I discard anything with a crease

+1 Small dents will work themselves out. But a sharp cornered crease is a weak spot. Lay that one over to make length dummys out of.
