Broken headphones and mic jacks in front panel

[Pawel_12]

Basically I accidentally hit the plugged in headphones and mic jacks with my knee and I skewed the jacks in front panel of my case. Now I tried to fix it somehow by applying tape to broken part inside the PC but it doesn't fix it. My question is - what should I do? Should I get whole new case, new front panel or anything?

It depends what's actually damaged. You could replace the front panel in most cases (not all), or you could just connect your headphone/mic to the rear I/O on the motherboard and forget about it.

Yeah but I kept my speakers connected to the rear jack so I could switch easily, now I have to give up on one to connect the other one. I saw that plastic plate was shattered and the headphone jack was skewed at 45. It wasn't plugged in straight, when I manually set it and held it, the computer managed to recognize it.
