Hardware Problem with a MacBook Pro(2012)

Hello. I have a hardware problem with my Mac. Let me explain. I looked a bit 'of time that when I close the Mac is a bit' hard and feels as if he were struggling, in particular feels a little crack. What do you think can be done? The warranty has expired me, but I would not get my hands on him. According to me it is not normal and I would not be a manufacturing defect. thanks

P.S. Sorry for my english

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Can anyone answer me please. At least, if you had a similar problem and how do you solved it?

Have you dropped the computer at any time? There should be no 'gap' between the upper and lower casing nor should the computer be difficult to close. Is this a recent development or have you always had this problem?

This issue is not so recent, I've noticed almost a month ago, but I've taught that was normal, until I saw that a friend's Mac hadn't this problem.

Honestly, I care my stuff and I don't remember I've dropped the computer. I carry it on the shoulders, in my rucsac, in a cover. Do you think this might be the problem? Maybe I can show you on a pic where I hear mostly the "crack"(in the circle).

OK, that looks as if it's on the hinge. If you've not dropped the machine and you carry it in a protective sleeve in your rucksack, that shouldn't be an issue.

If I were you I would take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and see if there's some way that they can, perhaps, tighten the hinge.

That's all I can think of!
