Safer sex with your MacBook

..or “the rubber” that protects your MacBook topcase from cracking. I am not sure if the title and the first phrase sound as good as in Polish, but both small protectors are made of rubber – condoms and the small rubber beads that protect my MacBook topcase from cracking. I have mentioned just “one blog post ago” that I have discovered the small crack on the topcase “…in a place where the inset of the screen frame touches the top case”. The topcases of the MacBooks White (and Black) are made of too weak plastic, moreover, it is not placed entirely on the plastic chassis of the MacBook and the inset of the screen frame pushing the topcase, just a bit off the place where it touches the chassis in relatively the weakest point of it. As I mentioned before, I intend to send my MacBook for the repeair that is guaranteed. However, for the forthcoming months I have to work on it, so the alternative solution is needed, and this is those small rubber beads sticked to the screen frame, that protect the incests of touching the topcase, keeping it in some distance. The whole idea is described (in Polish) in the article published on the site of the biggest Polish Mac/Apple user web magazine: http://www.myapple.pl/artykuly/81201-pekajace-macbooki.html
