Dropped Macbook Fix the Damage?

[kolin_bird]

I was walking and I slipped on some Ice with my Macbook in my bag, gladly everything worked but 2 marks appeared on the top right-hand side of the chassis of my MacBook (on the pictures) no dents or anything just paint damage. Anything I can do to repair the damage without taking it into Apple?

Thank you!

Honestly, I'd just live with it. Not worth spending money to repair for something so cosmetic. If it really bothers you, you could get something like this, and cut it down to size.

If you want to try to make those marks less visible, and the case is not actually bent, you can try to match the color, probably a flat silver, with a touch-up paint pen. You can usually find something close enough at any large craft store.

Am I the only one wondering how marks appeared on the keyboard area when the laptop is closed and inside a backpack? Did you have any damage to the top of the MacBook?

I'm with @uptownnyc. If it is just cosmetic, personally I would just live with it. Maybe find a paint to match or just cover it with a dBrand or ColorWare skin.

Nothing much except doing the suggestions given above. A case replacement is not worth it.

Isn’t there an sd card slot on that side? It looks like there was a card inserted and the force from that caused the marks in the metal (distressing it so to speak).

The only thing you can do is make it worse. MacBooks are not painted, they're made out of bare aluminium which is then anodised.

Damn, looks like what happens when you rip an hdmi cord out forcefully. Only fix is new top case sadly.
