Cracked monitor casing

I have a HP Pavilion dv9700 laptop. Last night I accidentally tripped over the power cord and the computer fell to the ground. Everything is fine except one thing. The casing around the screen is broken in one area. The screw hole in the top right hand corner is cracked and it is cracked off entirely near the microphone. Nothing else is damaged just the outside casing. I was on the phone with HP for an hour trying to explain to some guy in India what was broken and they told me to send it in to be repaired. But I am not sure if I want to go through all the trouble. Is there anywhere that I could find a replacement casing for my laptop monitor?

Replacement casing? No, that can only be purchased through the manufacturer. I've found, though, if you assert that you can replace the part yourself and you don't want to lose the notebook, HP technicians will usually show you to the store where you can buy the part.
