You probably want to get a high speed dremel rotary drill and some attachments to cut out the design and to sand it.

The glue i haven't used it for anything as far as case modding

The case is hard plastic, use a jig saw blade with fine teeth "Metal cutting Blades", 24 or 28 TPI (Teeth per inch)....... The 8, 10, and 12 TPI blades are for wood, and will make mince meat out of your case!!!!! Also maybe drill several holes, Just big enough for the blade to be inserted into, at random points just inside the sketch of your design. This will give you starting and stopping options. It's almost impossible to make one continuous cut!!!!!

Good Luck, Post us some pics of the progress or a Final Shot of the end result would be nice!!

Regards
