AirPort Express: Cosmetic cracks

MacFIxIt reader Eddie Sotto reports a physical issue with his AirPort Express where the component actually begins to display hairline fractures, that may eventually grow into functionality-affecting defects:

"I took a look at my new Express and lo and behold there were hairline cracks (1/2 to 3/4" long ) coming from the edge of the Apple logo on the white area of the case, one on each side of the unit! Perhaps there is some incompatibility with the logo material and the rest of the case as the cracks only begin there."

At this point, this appears to be a purely cosmetic issue as we've yet to receive any reports of degradation in reception or other failures.
