Screen cracking when closing?

[Remzin]

My Early '08 rev. MBP decided to crack on me. I was looking at an article, and I decided to go to my living room and watch television. So I finish the article (mind you, my thumb is placed at the bottom left corner to close the computer). Well...... I go to shut it from the corner, and well whaddya know? *CRACK* screen is broken, with a nice black spot showing where my thumb was. Again, I was only closing the computer. Regular usage. Now more than half of the screen is totaled. I am lucky enough to be able to type this on the computer at all. Anywho, the computer is about 6 months old. Either way, this is covered under the Apple Care that I got. This is not abuse at all, and unfortunately, I've heard that Apple will say this is abuse. Help please :S
