Small Acrylic Display Case

We replace it, and it costs you nothing. Send a photo within 30 days of delivery and a new case ships — no return shipping, no fee, and you do not need to send the damaged one back. Acrylic travels with protective film on both faces and we open every case here before it goes out, but panels get handled and film gets pulled. When it happens it is our problem to fix, not yours to live with.

Thirty days from delivery, and the return is free — tell us and we send a prepaid label, then refund the full price with no restocking fee and no deduction for shipping either way. You do not have to tell us why. Building it does not cost you the return either: these ship flat-packed and are meant to be assembled, so we only ask that the panels come back unmarked and packed well enough to survive the trip.

Acrylic is softer than glass, so yes, it can — the same trade that makes it clearer and far less likely to shatter. Dust it with a microfibre cloth rather than paper towel, and skip ammonia cleaners: glass cleaner is the usual culprit behind a hazed case.

No. Acrylic is UV-stable by nature — the display boxes that go yellow within months are polystyrene, a cheaper plastic that breaks down under light. Ours is cast acrylic, measured at 94.6% light transmittance and a 109°C softening point, so a sunlit shelf is nowhere near enough to change it.

Partly, and we would rather be exact about it: plain acrylic blocks most UVB but only around a third of UVA, so it slows sun-fading rather than stopping it. If a set is going somewhere with hours of direct afternoon sun, no case of any material saves it — move the shelf.

Cast. It is polymerised between glass rather than pushed through a die, which costs more per sheet and is why the panels carry almost no internal stress — the fine white crazing that shows up on cheaper cases after a year on a warm shelf. Our sheet is tested against GB/T 7134, the standard written for cast sheet.
