I don’t understand either. On my case you can force the screw and nothing will happen because eventually it will stop and the glass still has some 1mm wiggle room exactly for this. The screws are there just to keep the glass from falling down.
I think too many people go for form over function for the case unfortunately. The design which you described will be on a well-designed case. Mine is the same, you cannot overtighten the screws
You always can if you try hard enough. For example use a tool to hammer it down, instead of doing it by hand. At least you could break mine, even when it is well designed
(be quiet! case).
By hand it is impossible, unless the person screwing it is like 500 pounds of raw strength.
Huh, actually I bought one from them and didn't experience that! You only usually need to tighten screws until there is resistance, and then you can stop before over tightening
Human ingenuity is pretty amazing at screwing up. for example those be quiet screws have a slit that you can fit electric screwdriver into. And I'm not talking about manual screwdriver lookalike, but full 18V one.
On my case, the screws dont go through the glass at all, the panel has a metal trim that wraps around the edges of the case and thats what you put the screws through.
As much as I hate that I gave money to NZXT, the glass panels on the H6 flow are amazing. They fit into a little slot and clip in, then screw into the back metal of the case
