Superglue might work. it sounds like a pretty thin crack though. So the glue might not actually get into the crack where it needs to be to do the job. Also, superglue dries with lightning speed, not giving you any time to work it into place. If it opens up enough to say get a fingernail into it, then you might go with an epoxy or something similar that give you a little time. Then you can use an old credit card or something similar as a putty knife to squeegee the glue into the crack and then scrape the excess for a clean finish. If the crack is too thin to get glue "inside" the crack, then you are better off gluing a piece of plastic over the crack like a bandage. But feeling that would annoy me more than the crack. I would wait and see if it gets worse before taking action.

Optimally, you should remove the case and repair it rather than fix the case with the electronics inside. But that is usually more than most people want to do.

oh and is the crack near a screw? I may have been over torqued at assembly
