Concealed Lid Hinges

Those won't work with an overhang at the back.



To the OP, you've got a couple obvious options:

1) Mortise standard hinges in to the top of the back wall and the
underside of the lid. If you push the hinges back a bit so the pivot
point is outside the box, you'll be able to open past 90 degrees. This
might benefit from building up the wall thickness a bit on the inside of
the box for strength.

2) Same as above, but with no-mortise hinges. With an overhang at the
back these should give close to your requested 100 degrees.
