are the hinges durable? I'm concerned that these won't hold their form after a few months of folding/unfolding.

NO. The hinges are OK..... it is the pivot pin that you spin the speaker to be flat between the hinge and speaker that breaks so easily. And FYI. They just changed their warranty fro two years to ONE year. The case is flimsy - though a lot smaller and easier to pack than my bose ones.... but offers little protection. Good luck!

The hingers are durable. I'm using the item almost every day and it' s still in good condition

the hinges are durable but the cables are not. I've had 2 cables break on me, and the connectors are not standard so you have to get AKG replacement cables. I was lucky enough to find replacement cables, but they weren't cheap. On the positive side, this has good sound.

They're durable and hold up; maybe as long as they aren't used while playing football

I just fold it back the hinge doesn't seem to be weakened at all by this. I haven't talked with the cover closed yet so I don't know how hard that would be . My opinion is that it's well made

I'm sure they would last beyond a year. I've had mine for maybe 6-8 months and some have changed shape a little, but otherwise they are all perfectly fine!

No. These are molded hinges that are snapped together and so strong they will last forever. I am thoroughly happy with this purchase.

You know I'm not sure but they are not terribly sturdy, altho I love them... I've had them drop and crack so as not to be usable..bummer.. So it's not likely an item that will last a long,long time.

I have not had any problems with the hinges. Product arrived with no problems and is set up in our basement now, but when good weather arrives will put outside for "sun" drying. Product is easy to move and handle.

I purchased mine in March of 2014 and so far they have held up fine. I do not use them on a daily basis however....

The hinge does eventually wear out over time. At best you'll get maybe a couple months out of the case and have to replace it. I'm already looking to replace mine in less than a year, might look at a different brand and hope it lasts.

I used this hinge (4 of them) to make folding legs for a sign I made for a charity. I donated the sign including the hinges so I no longer have it. The folding legs worked exactly as needed and still do. As I no longer have the sign or access to it I can't answer your question. M

I would say they're pretty sturdy but I have to admit mine doesn't move from its spot in my laundry room... I probably got it 5 months ago and I haven't had an issue out of it at all I love it !!!

The hinges on the lid are very strong. They stay open with little effort. They are slow and heavy to close. I have not had them come slamming down. Hope this helps.

Oh! On the side!! Those are purely decorative! I owned this, and it's kind of cheaply made. The top hinges eventually gave out (after about 8 months of use), because they're plastic. :)

They're not flimsy, but they are plastic. I don't use them so really can't say that they last or not. Sorry

I purchased mine a year and a half ago and have not had any problems with the hinges - or anything else for that matter. I use it both indoors and outside at least twice weekly (and I really load it up!) and it does a wonderful job. I sincerely hope you can get a problem free replacement and can enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

They seem quite sturdy to me. I've used them all A LOT and I haven't had a problem yet. These things are so convenient. I will never look for another lid again! I hope this helps.

Mine is doing great. It's easier to open each slot after the 7 or 8 months I've had mine. I've been careful with the hinges since another reviewer mentioned he's breaking off, so none of mine have broken. I love it!

I have only had mine two months, but they're holding up well so far. I think they'll make it 3 months plus. Hope this helps.
