(I posted before about my never having seen such warping on the 3 iceBooks I support.) FWIW, I pull my iBook out of the JanSport laptop rucksack I use by grasping the iBook's ports end between thumb and fingers and lifting. I don't think I've ever pulled it the way you describe. (I'd call the hinge and latch sides "sides" rather than "ends" since a bit longer than the power-plug and ports ends.)
