My 'P' key has decided to stop working. Apple Tech says something about the mylar plating has come off or something. He also mentioned that to replace the keyboard, the whole top part would have to be replaced. Don't mind so much, as it would be nice to get some dents out. I also figure, if I have to do that, I might as well upgrade the RAM and put in a second hard drive while waiting for next gen retinas.

Apple want about $280 to replace the top case.
I found this case, which seems to be the cheapest online ($200 inc. shipping):

Any reason to go with Apple over buying this? I am tech minded, and like 'tinkering'.
