    i have had my like MB for just over a year...so my warranty just ran out. i noted that the top case has started cracking around the edge, and asking my friends and people who has the macbook, this is a pretty common problem. but mine is getting pretty bad.

    Do you think Apple would send me a replacement topcase and if so, how much would it cost. i don't know if anyone else has had this problem and asked for a replacement.

    thanks

    Just take it into an apple store. Be courteous and honest, and they'll probably just replace it for you. I've read many that have gotten them replaced though they were out of warranty. Apple is aware of the issue and will most likely replace it.

    That's correct. It's be a widespread issue of the topcase cracking, and like Talin said, they should replace it for you for free. ;)
