Actually, I found it and managed to use a pin and get it out....Unbelieveable...I baby this thing.
But would still be kinda cool to know about taking it off....

i was under the impression the keyboard was stuck on with adhesive. The bottom right corner of my PB keyboard is coming up, Apple wont fix it.

Actually, I believe it is the F1, F2 & F11, F12 keys that pop off. Underneath there are small screws. Also, there is a screw on the backside under the RAM slot I believe. I watched a local Mac tech replace my keyboard on my 12" PB. This is all from memory so I could be confusing the F keys as well as the location of the screw underneath. Keep in mind, this was on my 12" PB.

You have to take off the whole top case to get at the keyboard. Its quite an involved process but its possible. There are a bunch of screws that you need to take out as well. Im thinking about doing it so I can color the latch light blue and see if its possible to make the keyboard light up as blue. Sorry that apple doesnt make it easy...
