I'm experiencing several cracks across different areas.

Same with dust

I think it has something to do with the way I grab my Pbp with one hand from the side.
All the pressure is on that little part.
Being left-handed must explain that it's that side that's damaged.

as a hammer ?   Don't know what are you doing with your PBPs mine is like a new but I'm very careful with it does't even have a scratch ... oh I miss a screw from the factory (btw still waiting someone from the PBP team to contact me - it takes some time to get the information about a simple screw I guess)  if we don't count that and the random reboots and  freezes as well the lack of any really useful software (Cura Thunderbird OpenSCAD and more) or games (HL CS RTCW JD-Academy Doom3 Diablo 2 and much more running on the rpi4 (which is a lot less powerful) I think all will agree its better to pay a bit more for a quality build (oh and 64gb emmc .. even 128 is not enough but its still better and the emmc adapter with price 6 usd and shipping 11 !? still waiting for mine to be shipper purchase it around a week ago) anyway I knew it will be bad purchase overall its second gen product but I wanted to support pine64 that's why I get it no one else build arm laptop on good price.. if we don't count qualcom snapdragon machines but they play in another league (price performance - better put your money on intel or amd machine)
No really give the people the chance to choose between 64 and 128 gb emmc when they make a purchase, if I get 128 gb emmc now what should I do with the 64 !? Isn't that stupid..   Yes I know I can get 500 gb nvme for around 80 do 100 USD and forget it but .. why .. 
In conclusion there are a lot of stuff that are really bad in the product (not even mention the speakers) but its second gen and I will get it again if I need to 
Support the people is important   
(hope next gen will be better build with descent speakers a bit better cam maybe and price around 300 that will be the perfect machine oh and real 64 bit stock OS)

I'm having a similar issue at the top of the screen: https://pasteboard.co/INkcYz1.jpg
I never dropped the laptop or anything - only opened and closed the lid.  Anyone else with this issue?

Yes I had the same on the other side, reported to support. They asked me if this had been caused by the shipping. As far as I know very reasonable handling, and I havent opened up the case at all.

Any idea what kind of glue I can use to repair these two cracks without damaging the case material?

This works great on plastic

Nice, Thank You.

A new crack appears! This part of the plastic feels to have provided some structure to the palm rest now when typing the laptop base will flex.

I am having a crack party on my PBP...I have a crack around the power barrel in port, both slim parts around my usb ports have broken off! I also have cracks on the front of the PBP on the thin metal band around the top left and right screws! I might be missing spacers in the front, because the bottom panel sticks in a little bit...I hope Pine64 sells a fix-it kit soon, because my PBP has only seen gentle use! I love it, but it is falling apart on me! To be fair, I have taken it apart a few times...but really, this type of cracking is not acceptable in my eyes! At this rate it kind of feels like it is going to completely fall apart! I hope somebody at pine64 sees this and fixes this problem in future batches!!! I am going to try to Loctite the inside of my PBP later and see if that holds the cracks together.
EDIT: My fault! I didn't put the spacers where I should've...I guess I'll just have to live with the cracks. Live and learn...

The hinges on my PBP just fell apart. I think it was like this from receiving, because the screen always rubbed/hit the body when i'd open the lid.  My guess is one of them broke, then the rest couldn't hold up with one of them broken.  Not until now when I inspected more closely I noticed this. You can also see the same cracks around USB ports people are having too.  https://imgur.com/a/dVzYMZM

I don't think its fixable either. these hinges need a tight hold.
