I apologize for bursting your bubble there. I can explain how it happened (I'm good at this kind of thing) the hinges click when you open them to keep it in place the inside of the hinge plastic is ridged however if the DS takes a knock then the ridges can grind more against the plastic eventually forcing the plastic to split and crack. When that happens you should immediately apply some superglue to them to keep the DS intact however I would do it screen open so that even if the hinges no longer move freely you'll be able to play it. Also do this without a stylus in the pocket or a DS game in the slot either one could accidentally get superglued in.
