Carefully apply a small amount of "crazy glue" with the tip of a toothpick to the seem of the crack (while keeping the parts separate). Then hold them together firmly for at least 3 minutes. If any glue comes out of the seem when you first press them back together, wipe it off immediately.


And......Wallah! Good as new. ;)

I still recommend the same solution. My Nam1975 case looked like it actually went through Vietnam, but it cleaned up very well. It also had flaps that were completely separated.

you should have kept your nam case on condition, closing it with a military belt :)
bigger authenticity ;)

btw i like neopren glue... it glues pretty well everything

Here's pics of my NAM case after the repair:

I feel that all-in-all it was a succesful repair. :) Although, I still get flashbacks from time to time when I look at the case. :D
