My 2015 MBP has this exact same issue.

Pricey, but the lip covers the edge. My current one is 4 years old and lasted a couple of generations of Macbooks.
Amazon link to a debuting tool. It uses sharp harder metal to cut off sharp metal edges.
Even still, I'm looking forward to the day where I can run Asahi on this
At the time they called this crazy and unproductive, but those obsessions with control of my tools built the foundational skillsets that drove my career.
That's just not the definition of the word "tool" at all but okay... whatever
Some people would like to pretend means of production are holy assets you're supposed to value and trade (INVEST!!! making value is for losers and _these_ workers), when it's just a consummable that should serve a purpose right now.
A computer is a tool and customizing the case is not unheard of.
Thank you for desmystifying the Mac. Users know best.
What? You can damage even the most robust and simple tool by using it wrongly or inattentively.
I don't like to be precious about my tools either, scratches and so on are evidence it's being used for what it's made for!
From how I use the trackpad, the bottom of my thumb always feels sore-ish after a day's work and it took me a while to trace this to the sharp cornern of my macbook.
Thanks to both authors for sharing the work!

I got a plastic MacBook eventually which I filed down too because the edges were really sharp there. And plastic is easy to file. Also replaced the screen with a matte version, on the plastic MacBook that was also easy because the screens were readily available and there was no glass overlay.
Then I had a unibody MBP 15" matte. Less sharp and with off factory matte display. Not great keyboard though.
The current MBP I find abhorrent. Even after they switched from the horrible butterfly mistake the travel is still way too shallow. I just can't work with that anymore. These days I just don't buy laptops anymore. Only desk PCs.
