The first thing I did was take the side off my case and measure it up with this piece of hard plastic. I placed the side onto the Lucite to see how big a difference there was. Since I wasn't going to cut the total area of 16.6" X 24.4", I had a lot of room to spare:

   I then continued on my destiny of murdering my case and drew up lines with my trusty pencil and ruler. You can see the lines if you look really closely, the digital camera is not as great as it could be:



   The lines are drawn like that to get some of the excess lucite out of the way. The next step is cutting the plastic down. Now I have seen many people say the best way to cut lucite or any other hard plastic is to score it with a knife.
