Well it is, take it to an Apple store instead OR kick up a fuss at the tech centre. I would suggest the Apple store option though.

OK so far so good, no black macs have had this problem, hopefully not! I bought my mac at a best buy and i have the one year warranty through mac and i also purchased 2 years of accidental warranty from best buy. Does anyone know if they replace the whole mac with the best buy warranty???? If that where to happen.

Mine cracked in the same spot as the OP, right bottom corner. I own a black macbook. I plan on going to the Apple store this week. I don't have apple care so I'm hoping they can still do something for me.

If it's under warranty they should repair it. If not it could prove expensive...

I repaired a macbook with a crack like that not long ago, it seems to be they fasten the screws wayyyy too tight in these macbooks. I almost stripped a few of them trying to get them off. I think the overtightened screws cause the plastic to fracture, i dont know what else it could be

I was told that it was the two raised ridges on the top of the screen pushing on the keyboard casing when you close them.
