@Raven: My damage would be much more simple to resolve than yours for a couple of reasons. My bottom case for example is the first stage of the take apart, so ten screws and it just lifts off, where yours is the "first thing in, last thing out". Taking out a MacBook Pro bottom case for a good technician is about 25 minutes labour (most will charge at least 2 hours to get it out and put a new one in though; I'm quick
).
Secondly, the MacBook Air bottom case is flat (it's curved, like all the Air's surfaces, but not like the MBP). The bottom case here is just a flat surface and doesn't make up the sides, front or back of the machine like the MBP bottom case. As such I could just push out the small bend (not dent) with my fingers. On a MacBook Pro a dent to the corner usually means the Aluminum has been stretched - you can bend it back to a degree, but you are really just adjusting the stretch and never really getting rid of it. I've posted 4 Flickr images
here so try and show you what I mean. They are only iPhone images so the quality isn't great but I think it makes the point.
