the slipperyness of the unibody, combined with fleece pj pants, has me asking this question. my macbook pro seems to be unusually prone to drops/falls, moreso than any of my other laptops that i've ever had (and i've probably had 10 or 12 by now).
anyways, the MBP took a dive this evening, and luckily for me it does still function fine--no damage in that respect. however, the lower left corner of my top shell case (LCD) is now severely bent/warped due to the fall. this means that the MBP will not close completely, with a noticeable gap on the left side when closing it.
so is it possible to have someone replace the top of the unibody shell? i'd rather spend a couple hundred to replace the shell as opposed to 2000 on a new MBP (its a late 2008, but its running fine otherwise). i havent made a trip to the genius bar yet---tho i know they will tell me its going to be outta my pocket, natch because its a drop and also im just out of warranty.
googled it and searched a while and i didn't come across any replacing of the shell itself....
thanks
