I opened the box and accidentally dropped the side panel about 3 cm, but because the peels were there it didn’t break and stayed intact. Can someone suggest a way to repurpose it? There’s some kind of adhesive that could be applied from one side to add strength. Honestly, I’m not sure about using it in this condition. The case is a DeepCool Matrexx50-AR, which is affordable, so I’m okay with buying another one if needed. Thanks ahead!

To ensure transparency, you might apply a thin epoxy coating on both surfaces. This would require a dust-free environment and guiding structures on either side, which would appear most professional. Alternatively, attaching a window safety film to one side could work if you can do it carefully without damaging the panel.

The second choice seems like a viable alternative to pursue.
