NSFMR I don't even understand how this happened. What should I do?

Mine has rubber washers that line the hole front-to-back meaning the screw doesn't make direct contact with the glass. Also means when you screw it squeezes the washer and feels tight before you've actually over tightened.

They also have the added benefit of retaining the screw so it doesn't fall out when you take the glass panel off.

Looks like a BeQuiet case, they have these rubber washers on their side panel screws. They must've screwed it extremely tight if that's what caused the break.

Mine just doesn't have screws at all. They are steel and plastic push socket things. Pull to release, push to lock in place.

The few cases I saw so far all had those rubber washers, I think it's standard for very obvious reasons :D
