Hi, Murray.

I don't remember ever hearing of problems regarding cracked top cases  
in clamshell iBooks; if you hit a dead end in the road, visit  
http://pbparts.com

If they don't have it, they can usually get it for you rather  
inexpensively, and if you don't want to replace it yourself, they don't  
charge for labor, IIRC.

btw, Woz is not on this list, although he is a frequent reader of  
another...
