MacBook Pro Bulge Problem

[Durbrow]

Apple returned my MBP today and there seems to be a bulge just above the latch. I am aware that others have had this problem too. My question: Does anyone here have it? And have you decided to get Apple to fix it? Or is it trivial for you?

Thanks for any impressions.

That should be considered a defect in materials and/or workmanship - and yes, i would definitely expect apple to fix or replace it!

Apple's quality control......slipping, slipping, slipping....sigh....
Ever since Apple moved its factories to China several years ago, with China's cheap 50 cents an hour labor, 60 hour plus workweeks and its workers getting No benefits whatsoever, overall quality has been going steadily downhill. Exploited, unhappy workers just can't be expected to put out quality work....and screwed-over, disgruntled workers will often, and understandably, do little random acts of sabotage.
Ah, for the good old days when Apple's factories were in Taiwan with superior quality control.
It's a big reason why I'm balking at upgrading to a MacBook Pro. Getting a problem free unit is a total crapshoot, these days.

My powerbok has the same exact thing.
