Backfire???

A hard case would reduce the heat dissipation, since the alu unibody acts as a heatsink for the MBA.

My MBA 13"'s temperature heats up whenever I put my Speck casing on.

your best choice is to get rid of it at lower than market price and purchase a new one since mountain lion just launched. sell it at a discount price (prepared to loose extra RM300 on top of market value) and purchase a new unit.
once and for all.

Rather lose 300 ringgit than put up with a perfectly functional machine. Some people have all the money. I salute you.

i dont think that dent would be noticeable to public, just as long you ignore the dent, dont look at it..then it will be ok...

Just found this thread. I found a cheaper solution which is to get it from eBay.
