too many falls caused the hinge on the ibook to break. the keyboard keys fell off one by one over time, and i detached the keyboard to remove the ram and airport card, which i gave away. i still have it if anybody's interested.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, no sh*t. OP, you're kidding, right?
I really thought *I* was neurotic, until I started spending some time on these forums.
I had to really work my obsessive compulsive genes to find that scratch! I mean, I'm very particular about the beauty of my Apple computers, but that scratch is almost invisible. Don't spend all your time looking at your computer's belly! Turn it around and use it - that's the best solution.
lol My brand new SR MBP has a tiny chip taken out of the grey plastic around it and I'm not crying
Do these speck shells work well? I want to buy one but I am worried that it might move around in this case and cause more scratching. Can some that has had this for some time let me know if this case has caused any scratching over time. Also how is the heat with this case? thnxs

I've had it on my MacBook Pro for a couple months and I haven't noticed any scratches from it. The MacBook Pro is actually quite secure in the Speck case, so you don't have to worry about it moving around in it. And I really haven't noticed a big heat increase after using it. My temperatures are around ~125F with around 30% processor usage, not really cool, but not really hot. One thing to note is that I have a Core Duo MacBook Pro, so if you have a newer one, then it will probably run cooler.
Take it back??? Are you serious?
You can't return items that are 3 weeks old because YOU scratched it
im not serious, im just poking fun at the people who come on here an complain about every little problem, so i as soon as i saw this scratch i was like, i know what im going to do
im surprised so many people took me seriously lol
id return it if it had a single dead pixel, but not any number of scratches

I'm sure you were joking around......

This makes me sick. Are you serious? Take it back because of a scratch that you put there? It's retarded to think you can take a machine back because of a cosmetic blemish that you put there.
If you cannot afford to live with a scratch then maybe you should have bought a dell.
why do you think i typed HUGE in caps in the original post, its obvious its not huge, i wasent even sure if the picture would show it, but thats what micro mode is for. i did worry when i thought it was cracked, then i might have taken it back, because the bottom shouldn't crack like that, but as many places as this thing has been the past three weeks im surprised theres not more scratches on the bottom
If you were joking I think a lot of people's sense of humour /sarcasm detectors are turned off today, mine included.
Yeah no doubt, like sarcasm can be easily picked up off a post

yes i know, the internet sucks like that
i was hoping the all caps would be a giveaway but..oh well
See!!! Thats what im sayin!!! finally someone one who agrees with me
Damn straight. You should. I mean, maybe it's my OCD talking, but take that thing back and get a Speck case for the next one. Trust me on this one.
well crap i hope it dosent get that far, i have a compaq thats two years old and it dosent really have any wear and tear except discolored palm wrests
