[QUOTE="ImageX, post: 924076, member: 115700"] I think this can be because the air vents are right behind the hinge and the hot air could be weakening the plastic causing the weight of the screen or closing/opening the screen to add just enough force to make it crack. I have noticed my MBP to get very hot almost to where you can't touch it on top of the keyboard right in front of the screen on the left side. I certainly wouldn't use this on any kind of soft surface that would cover the vents as seen in the first pics. Kind of crappy how they blame it on an "accidental drop". [/QUOTE]
