Al.... my Ti 400 has had no hinge (or paint) problems. It gets lugged around with me on the road a few times a week and probably runs about 8 hours a day on average. Bought it new so that was what, four years ago? I am very careful when carrying it out of its bag, opening it and closing it so I don't put undo pressure on one side or the other.... IOW, when carrying it, I grip it in the middle, and also open it up holding the middle edge... all so as not to twist it or put strain on the hinges.
