you will need

Bondo
Dremel
Sandpaper
Epoxy
Spacers for your pcb or perfboard

I used the bezel that came with the lcd to get a perfect hole, then I used tape on the outside while I epoxy the inside.

after that I used leftover plastic that came with lcd and my soldering iron to melt it on the Case, I sanded it down then used the Bondo until I got a smooth surface.

Downing put together a guide on portable case making that predates the heavy use of 3D printing in this hobby. It covers both vacuum forming and frankencasing. Check out sections VII-IX specifically for frankencasing.
