ive read that macbooks get cracks on the casing. i have a black macbook from 08 and its had the crack since about 2 months after i got it, i didnt do it. it kind of gradually turned into a crack and then a peice came off, if i brought it to a macstore, would they fix it even though i dont have insurance ? I actually have 2 cracks, one that i didnt do and one that happened by accident, would they fix it if one of the 2 cracks was done accidentaly by me ?
 
They would probably take that as accidental damage. And in fact, you did crack. I would know cause I have a '06 MacBook that has under gone that 3 times. As you keep using the trackpad, constantly pushing you palms on the edge of the casing overtime it gets weak, cracks, and break off.

Although I have applecare, I'm not sure if they'll take your situation. Best call and ask if I were you.
