Question Case Tempered Glass Chipped

[rounakr94]

Today while removing the plastic protection on the tempered glass I see that it is chipped on the left side glass panel on the bottom front corner.
Is this a cause of concern as this case has been with me for around 1½ months and the glass didn't shatter yet.
Should I apply something there to prevent the crack from spreading or to provide some cushioning?

The case is a Deepcool CG580.

I would RMA the case, since you got it like that out of the box. You should've gotten a case with an intact tampered glass side panel.

If you're unable to initiate an RMA, you should leave it as is but it's highly possible that the glass can shatter after further contact, sometime down the road.

If keeping, I would recommend dabbing on a bit of clear nail polish. Will help with sharp edges and may help with future cracking (not terribly likely).

There is also windshield epoxy, like that used to repair cracks/chips in windshields. This is likely a bit of overkill.

If you are in the US, you won't be able to officially get warranty service right now. They are blacklisted for providing parts to a country who is under embargo or whatever that is called (my brain won't come up with it). It remains to be seen if that is going to be lifted and what will happen to existing customers warranty.

If you are outside the US I would contact DeepCool themselves. They will likely send you a new glass or provide a resolution.

Well, now I know how it might have chipped. When the front glass panel clips in the top channel it slightly bumps against the left side glass panel's bottom corner. This bumping might have caused it to develop the chip as there was a 1mm chip on the front panel exactly where both the glasses meet as they sit tight with each other (as in picture).
Anyways I have contacted Deepcool and they said that this was a clean chip and should not crack further and if it shatters in future then they would replace the damaged glass panels.
