It didnt cover up my cracks
i had a cracked iphone and the carbon went into the cracks and even the cracks pushed it up so it you have dents it will put the sticker out of place. I wouldnt recommend it

i have one dent and it's the size of a pea barely noticeable at all i just can't stand looking at it anymore! So i was going to cover it up with the vinyl... so even such a small dent would still mess it up? or would the carbon fiber hard shell case be the better choice?

it is up to you, all i can say it wont be perfect ! but it will be less noticable, but the hard case is pricey. vinyl way be the best bet

well it's only a 20 dollar price difference, and well i have read some places where vinyls cover up small dents that's where i got the idea. i was going to get the xgear shadow carbon fiber hard case. but my dent is close to the apple logo so i don't know if it will still show through the circle. so i'm not sure what to do =/

You'll want a hard shell case (I use one of these). Any vinyl sticker is just going to either stick into the dent (still making it visible) or not touch at all in that spot and leave a flat dent shape.
The shells clip on and keep just about everything protected. Trust me, if my laptop can be scratch and dent free in a household that has a 3 and 6 year old boys living in it, it works well.
you know what sucks about the xgear carbon fiber one with the circle cut out for the apple logo is that my dent is pretty close to the apple logo i'd say about 3/4 of an inch dirrectly accross the right side of the bottom of the logo. so idk if the hole will be bigger and still show the dent =/

So go with the Speck case I pointed out. It covers the whole lid. You can generally find them for about $30, if you look around.

+1 on the Speck Hard Case. I have this one for my 13" MBP. Fits perfectly and takes all the knocks and rolls . . . . . . . . . . Would be on my 3rd machine i reckon if it wasnt for the speck case . . .
Cheers
