[QUOTE="chordstrummer, post: 422769, member: 31503"] About the sharp edges, just sand them down. I'm a new Mac user (less than a month), and I don't take credit for this idea -- read it here, or on one of the other boards. Get some 320, 600, and 1,000 grit sandpaper, and some blue painters tape. Mask off the wrist/palm guards and the sides of the case, and have at it. Took all of 15 minutes to smooth the edges and did not change the appearance whatsoever, except ... Be careful and go slow at first to get a feel for how much material you have to remove (it isn't a lot at all, you just want to round the edge a bit) -- and try not to cry too much when you gouge the side of your shiny new MacBook like I did (hence my recommendation of the blue painters tape).
