    Bad Plastic?

    I'll tell you why I don't think that it was dropped. There are no marks on the outside. The mirrors weren't misaligned. I've accessed the battery before and the tabs weren't broke. This plastic is brittle! It did just crack; it shattered and splintered. The only time that it may have been...
