It looks like the hole is stripped if the screw is intact. That really isn't good.

Are you sure the screws are the proper ones?

The screw on the top can be screwed nicely and fit tight but the bottom part just doesn't want to be screwed at all Its not stripped btw I think it just need a longer ones to reach the end can someone with digilog case help me?

Are the screws you have on the top the same as the bottom? If they are then they could be stripped because the screws should be the same.

I would try to find someone who had or has a Digilog case and ask first about the screws.

If worse comes to worse, email the seller and try to get a refund or see if you can retool the screw holes and then re-anodize the case.

Try to bring it to your local hardware store
pretty sure they've the correct screws for you,

if it fits, at first don't screw it all the way down to see how long you need and you can cut it after to adjust

over the wknd, I'll take mine apart and measure the screws

Try a #5 screw 22mm or 7/8" in length and a 1/4" head.
Epzy asked me once what the measurements for these screws were and that's what I sent him.
He hasn't replied back with an angry PM so there's a chance that those are the correct measurements.
But you should probably wait for skcheng to give you what he finds.

I got the same screw as epzy but the screw is not long enough to reach the other halves I think it needs a longer one

IIRC, these are either M2.5 or M3.0 screws

Do not purchase American standard measurements screws.

Did you find the screws??   If not, next week I'll go buy some at my hardware store and send them to you.    Metric M2.5 or M3.0.   Can't remember which.
