I got mine for Christmas and nothing has happened so far, but I have the same worry in the back of my head that opening/closing the DS will cause it to crack. I keep good care of it and open it normally, but there is always that worry.
Broken Ds? Oh my, how embarassing, especially when you break it yourself like in my case for example. I own 2 Ds. One original and one lite. The reason that I bought the lite was due to an anger "accident". Anyway, as I was (once again) playing Mario Kart Ds on 150 cc on the third cup on Waluigi's Pinball in my desperate attempt to remain first and (of course) on the final lap, I received a nice blue shell, followed by some red shells and as a final act of indignity the shells made me "kiss" the flippers, thus zapping myself and ending in a pathetic position. This was the biggest mistake of the Ds. I exacted "revenge" on it by grasping it tight and breaking it like a "Break" chocolate. As a result one of the hinges broke on the front and the top screen took a weird diagonal position. I had to break the other hinge on the front in order to be able to balance the Ds again. Since then, that Ds got even worse with the whole hinges breaking completely. Now what keeps that Ds in place is the cord connecting the top and the touch-screen as well as some glue and tape. Yeah, it's pretty much messed up. And yes, it broke in quite a stupid way.

I remember hitting my game gear when I was like 8 but never would do something like that now. Even then I would have never thrown it. How do the hinges get messed up simply by opening and closing them. Is it made that cheap?
