Are you going to decorate the case with a few scenes from the movie?  A laser-etched window with this might do the trick....

I'm not going that advanced.... this year.   I've got some Extralife Specific Case and Pump Art coming for both builds.  I'll share that once it arrives!

 

Can one laser etch tempered glass?

I'm very excited.

I think they only laser-etch plexiglass, but I'm no expert on that.  I've had a few pieces of plexi laser-etched over the years, done by Hypercore.  They are out of business now but I did a review of their windows.
