when I bought my macbook, on the second day my friend noticed a warping of the case that borders the screen above and to the right of the isight. it was warped/bent out to the point where I could see the inside of the computer. so I pushed that part back with my thumb. it helped a little bit, but I can still notice the warping. I bought another macbook for my sister the same day. her's is not as warped as mine but is also a little bit bent out above the isight. is this normal for the macbooks? am I just looking too much? also, when I press that area, it clicks, so the alignment is screwed up also. what happens is that the bordering piece is going under the outer cover/case. I'm trying my best to describe this.

I didn't want to send it in for repairs because I couldn't afford living a week without my macbook.

I also talked with a mac genius. he blamed it on me basically, saying that I was handling the macbook incorrectly. he also says my warranty does not cover "cosmetic" damages.

I'm new to the mac world. what should I do?
