I just closed my computer a few minutes ago to carry it and I felt that I could depress the plastic hinge cap in effortlessly (from the outside with the display closed). Does anyone else have this issue? If it's common, I don't want to go get it fixed.
Got a tip for us?

Just checked mine, it seems fairly firm when I press it. You're talking about the black strip on the back, correct?
Yeah; close the display and press the outside black plastic part somewhere in the middle.
If I really apply force, then it pushes in a little. Yours seems a little abnormal...I doubt Apple would replace it though.
Patient: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this.."
Doctor: "Well, then stop doing that!"
Haha, I was thinking the same thing. That's what my mom always told me.
My early 2008 Macbook has it. It makes a really annoying clicking noise when I press it in. The whole length of the strip makes a clicking noise when pressed. When I first got the machine, the whole thing was solid. The whole machine feels cheap now since it makes clicking noises when I open and close the lid.
