I hear that these cracked palm rests will be replaced for free if I take it to an Apple Store. Do any of you know if they replace the keyboard as well?
 
The keyboard and palm rest is one assembly—when Apple replaces one, they replace the other.

Apple will definitely replace the "top case" (includes trackpad, keyboard, power button, and palm rests) free of charge if you have a certain kind of crack near the palm rest.
 
My problem is the usual crack where the magnetic latch keeps the lid closed which from what I've seen is a very common occurrence. I'm kind of glad they replace the keyboard because I've used my MacBook every day for two years and I've never cleaned the keys so they're kind of on the worn side. Thanks for the info.
