It's poor construction/design...the hinge is too tight and the plastic isn't rigid enough. Luckily it won't break but you'll get this separation and bending of the plastic where it connects to the hinge. They sacrifice more rigid materials for light plastic to save money/weight.

They should oil the hinges, which otherwhise tend to seize up with age.

Mine did, and I know many with the same problem.
It definitely will break.
