Bent case, unable to use ethernet port

Theres an apple store in the area, but it isnt exactly nearby. Ill probably end up trying them, though if it will cost me any money ill probably just have to have a computer with no ethernet port. At this point, im just really disappointed in the quality of aluminum used in the unibody case,although it looks fairly nice, the finish never looks clean,and the ease at which the case bends almost makes me regret buying the computer, which upsets me because I absolutly love the computer, just when you say solid machined aluminum, I didn't think a can of violin rosin falling off of a shelf from 3 feet above the case would create yet another dent in the unibody. The weight of the object is negligible, machined aluminum should be durable enough to at least take that! Maybe in a future model apple could perhaps use a higher quality of aluminum, or make it a bit thicker, which would increase weight, but id rather have a heavier laptop than one that dents this easily.

that being said, im highly considering measuring out the current unibody, redesigning it, and having it machined out of a higher quality metal with a different finish. I have easier access to a machinest than the apple store

The mac truck looks to be a great product! My problem is materials engineering, makes me think how I could have done it better. Fiberglass mold, carbon fiber weave, insert aluminum nuts for threading as needed. I dont have an extra 200 to blow on a case sadly, as much as I really wish I could. At this rate, im probably just gonna have to deal with the fact that theres a few dents. A little careful bending with a screwdriver did make the port usable, at this point it just upsets me because I have to look at it every time I use the computer! At the current time, ive yet to purchase a better laptop case(as much as I know this i a risk, I dont have a lot of money to spend, but raw materials are at no premium). I ended up foam lining a pocket in my bag I use to carry all my stuff for classes, and im praying that this will prevent further dents(or at least prevent failure). that being said, the bend apparantly moved the screen over a few millimeters too, so its easier to open the screen by just running a finger up the left side of the case, because my fingers just never quite got along with the groove that opens the screen that came on the laptop. That being said, thanks for the help and suggestions, on the off chance I ever end up getting bored enough to play with carbon fiber weave, something cool might come out of that(I do own a desktop with a carbon fiber weave case after my old school dell began cracking, but it was a much less intensive operation than said laptop) So its not like im a complete crackpot, ive just always been angered by materials that arent my choice(such as aluminum, its rarely a choice material for anything in my book).
