Macbook AppleCare: Hairline Cracks Covered by AppleCare But Only if They Are on the Bottom of the Case

After reading about hairline cracks on Macbook cases last week, I checked mine and found hairline cracks on the bottom of my otherwise near pristine Macbook shell (see photo above). So, I took it in the local Apple Store Genius Bar (second appointment after taking care of my daughter’s iPod touch screen – see previous blog item) and reported about it on the MobileContentToday blog…

AppleCare Lesson 2: MacBook Hairline Cracks

The resident Genius told me the hairline cracks are covered by AppleCare because they are on the bottom of the case. I guess they are not covered if on the top of the shell. My AppleCare for the MacBook runs out next month (it turns 3 years old!). So, I’m glad I read about and noted the hairline cracks before it ran out. I’ll be Macbook-less for the next 7 to 10 working days.
