    My Black Macbook bulges out slightly on the left side (where the ports are) about 1-2mm. It's not a big deal; I can deal with it. I'm wondering if anyone has a similar problem?

    You probably wouldn't be able to tell with a pic, but if you run your fingers on both sides of your macbook with the screen closed, you should be able to tell.

    which extends to mean that if you CAN see it in a pic, that's a huge discrepency.

    It looks like yours is worst than mine. What camera is that by the way?

    I wonder what's causing the left side to buldge out. I also tried tightening the screws but that didn't help.

    I hope you're not shooting that at wide-angle using your digital camera. Cameras exhibit barrel distortion at wide-end of the zoom. Your best shot is to shoot at telephoto (largest optical zoom), otherwise your images appear more crooked that it actually is.

    Just FYI.
