I have just joined and read some threads about scuff marks, mine has this too... Out of the box. I am wondering if there is a general rule about how much is deemed acceptable by Apple, like how many manufacturing faults are okay before they will replace. I am not close to an Apple store so don't want to drive if there is no hope... but I also feel ripped off. I guess I'm scared they will just say 'go away' because this seems to be a wide range problem.
