This how my design for a front panel/sled using laser cut acrylic turned out:

I can share the DXF of the basic outlines if anyone is interested. This one is fitted specifically to this board. It cost me only pennies to make this, so this is something I think worth considering if you're working with a small budget.
If you need extra shielding, it would be easy to put foil across the bottom panel, or even make that one panel of metal or a blank copper clad pcb.
