'''Used a guitar capo with soft rubber ends to bend it back'''
-
I did this on a new macbook pro (13") and made the mistake of bending the corner back with a pair of needle nose pliers which scratched the aluminum before I could get it back into shape. Then I dropped it AGAIN on the other corner and bent both sides back without dismantling with a Kyser KG12B guitar capo (runs maybe $12) which is designed to not scratch guitars. It's not perfect like it was but I'm over it and now closes without scraping the bottom case. I also purchased a black speck snap-on case and it looks great.
