So I guess my charger wire got caught somehow under the hinge of the lid when I was opening it and of course the edges of the MBA are sharp enough to cut a literal apple, it made about a half cm slice through the surface of the wire where I can just barely see the silver wires inside now. Any way I can take this into Apple to get it replaced maybe?
Got a tip for us?

You can ask, but I'd have to say it's not likely. This damage falls under the category of "abuse". If you're barely seeing silver wires (shielding) just get some white electrical tape and neatly wrap the damaged area.
Worth a bash taking it to the store if it's nearby and you only had it a week.
Just be down to earth and explain your situation, and they might be kind to you.

My rabbit chewed part of mine and exposed the wires. Just wrap it with electrical tape- problem solved.

Hah. I have a rabbit, too, and am sooo paranoid about this happening with my new MBA. I've had to replace soooo many cables around the house. He never just nibbles the plastic; he goes through the whole wire.
