" However, every time I pull my Mac out of its MacCase sleeve I can't help but shiver at the marks (peeling, flaking - don't really know how to describe it!) on the bottom of my MacBook. "
"My sister has a MacBook whose plastic on the front is peeling away. If I bring it into an Apple Store, is this something they would have to send in to be repaired? If so, how long will this take?"
"the coating/paint near the space bar on my macbook pro is peeling... normal usage lang... looks ugly as hell, will iCenter/iStore replace the top cover of my MBP thru Applecare?"
"also, i noticed this black line on the lower right of my display. probably dead pixels. do they replace the display too?"

"MacBook Casing Defect: Prevalent Cracking"
"While attending Macworld Conference and Expo '08, a hairline crack developed in my 1st Generation MacBook, which was just outside its one-year manufacturers warranty. That hairline crack has since become a split in the plastic casing which, when not held down by a piece of tape, results in a sliver of plastic jutting out from the area where my wrist comes in contact with the laptop as I type."
