My Macbook also shows up crack on the palm rest area

Hey guys!
I bought my macbook last december and now it has developed cracks on the palmrest area???? It is chipping off on the front side of the palm rest panels??????!!!!
:(:confused:
 
A guy at the apple store told me that this was only happening in his opinion becasue people were pressing their palms down too had on the palm rest.

nothings happened to mine though
 
Just got my computer back from the Apple store, and they replaced the bottom part of the casing under my warranty. It took a little longer than normal thanks to all the iphone craziness, but what can ya do? :eek:

Once again, this wasn't the common palmrest cracking, but rather, cracking in the hard polycarbonate bottom case on a computer that gets handled with care. I've had the palmrest cracking as well, and both times Apple fixed it right away, argument-free. If you've got either of these problems, you really should get it fixed before the cracks worsen and (potentially) expose the insides of your computer to the elements.

Oh, and thanks for all the insight, and letting me know I wasn't the only one! Good luck to all of you who have similar problems!
