Reply to comment by Tomnnn in Hobbyist adds a hinge to the Game Boy Pocket, delighting everyone | No, it's not a Game Boy Advance SP. This is the monochrome Pocket with hinge. by chrisdh79

Good thing it’s only a hobbyist thing and he made it for himself, now you don’t have to worry about breaking it.

Idk what it is. Laptop hinges eventually become rigid and squeaky. I think my Gameboy SP snapped one hinge. Is it possible to be too gentle with clamshell hinges causing them to become brittle?

Oh but I do! It's Reddit and I see a discussion, or rather a whole post, about a device modified to be a clamshell. So it is entirely relevant and contributes to the discussion to share my experience with such designs. To each their own, on disagreements and clamshell preferences.

There's no shortage of that discussion to be had. Have you seen foldable smart screens now? The world's going mad
