Tefillin Battim Close To Breaking

These tefillin battim are very weak on the hinge spot, which is where they bend when they are opened and closed. In the first picture you can see the bayis, and in second picture I zoomed in on the weak part. Notice how you can see the light coming through. Although they are kosher, they are so weak that they should be replaced.
