The company would investigate to ensure the damage wasn't caused my misuse on the owner's behalf and make any necessary repairs if otherwise.
So if the crack appeared after dropping it they won't repair it, even if it only cracked because of their poor manufacturing process?

May be happening due to mechanical pressure and the fused two plastic shells there, a colorful one (white, black, pink) and the transparent one. These cracks may appear due to the 2 thin plastic layers and stress there. The plastic layer, that handles the hinges is intact and the thin one that covers the other one, cracks.
When you drop it later you only have to prove that this crack was there before dropping (that is difficult). When you drop it afterwards, you can have it repaired, but must pay for it. That's fair imho. You just can not blame Ninty for not repairing due to 'foolishness' of the user, to speak it out very boldly...

I think they won't be too strict on the cracks, but if it looks blatantly like you've not taken too much care and there are loads of cracks, they'd consider not repairing it - or at least charging you a little bit for it.

If you drop it, it's your fault not Nintendo's
