Hey guys, so I was clicking on my trackpad and the glass on top of it cracked. What happened was that I was wondering why the top left corner wouldnt click so I pushed a little harder with my finger and then it cracked. Should have taken pictures to show the community. Well I took it into the Apple store and they took care of me. They are going to replace it for free and it should be repaired within 24-48 hours. I looked at the itemized cost which would normally cost about 60-90 dollars depending on whether they charge you for labor or not. Nice apple. Nice. I totally went into the store expecting to have to pay out of pocket for this incident but apple rocks!
Got a tip for us?

Anyone who owns an Apple product with glass on it. Don't do this...😱

Thats great that they took good care of you! Apple has never let me down when it comes to customer service.
it was on warranty but i dont think it mattered because i dont think they would consider that a defect. however what "I" do consider a defect (design) is the fact that the trackpad doesnt have a 100 percent "click" coverage area., it's more like 85.
