There is the problem of what to do with the cutout portions. I hate waste. Perhaps I could use them to make a bunch of hand-bound mini-journals as gifts, or something like that....

I have also made a number of padded fabric-covered boxes over the years, and it would be pretty simple to make one for my iLiad. If I use sheets of acrylic for the box, rather than cardboard, I would think it would provide considerable protection, as well.
How about origami ornaments?? Like cranes or something??

You know, I've done a lot of work with acrylics, and the problem is, they can all too often break. Given the choice, I would go with 1/4 inch plywood. It will take an impact and dent rather than shatter. It just absorbs the force better. Unless you are talking about bullet proof acrylics ... which are on the expensive side.
