Thanks everyone for the kind words. I went and bought a bunch of scraps from tap plastic. Some clear, some translucent. For $14 I have the material to cut about 15 sets. For the clear plastic the engraved type is nice. But for translucent I would do a sticker as seen in my video. 

So a complete set would be: 

Top and bottom plate. 
3 x 0.5 inch #6 machine screws
3 x 0.25 inch #6 machine screws
1 x stand off 5/8 inch tall, 0.25 OD
2 x stand off 1/8 inch tall, 0.25 OD
2 x stand off 9/16 inch tall, 0.25 OD 

The stand offs might need some sanding down if the plastic is thicker than 3mm. 

This would be the assembly instructions: 

1. The holes in the plates are all pilot holes, drill them all to size to fit the screws. 
2. Using a 1/4 inch drill bit, flare the outside of each hole so the screw sits flush. 
3. Attach the 5/8 inch tall stand off to the top plate in the center hole with a 1/4 inch screw. 
4. Attach the 2, 9/16 inch tall stand offs to the top plate in the two end holes with 1/4 inch screws. 
5. Attach the 2, 1/8 inch tall stands offs in the bottom plate in the two end holes with 1/2 inch screws. 
6. Place the PCB on top of the bottom plate, aligning the two end holes. 
7. Bring the top plate together with the bottom plate, aligning center stand off and the two end screws. 
8. Screw the two end bottom plate screws to the two top plate stand offs. 
9. Screw the center stand off to the bottom plate with a 1/2 inch screw. 

So... 

Would you want clear (like the pictures I posted yesterday) or translucent (like the video I posted this weekend)? 
How many would want completed cases, with plates and all the hardware, drilling and attaching? 
How many would want just the plates and hardware? 
How many would want just the plates? 

Let me know and I'll work up some prices.
