    after thinking it, Super glue will work, but it will run the risk it being stuck open/close. rubber cement is also can work, good thing about it, if doesn't u can rub it off.

    it seems if you dont glue the sides you should have no trouble. i think Super glue is ur best bet. how i would do it is get some paper, and something thin like a needle.  put some glue on the paper, Super Glue doesn't glue paper, with the needle get some and apply it to were you need to. This is mainly so it looks clean the repair.
