Question: For the Aigo (爱国者) Yueguang Baohe Jing Mini PC case (299 CNY), is the tempered glass side panel opened by using a finger inserted into a hole/gap, or is there a different mechanism?

Answer:

Based on multiple teardown reviews of the Yueguang Baohe Jing (月光宝盒) series (Mini, T20, 镜, X variants share the same panel design language), the side glass panel is not opened by poking a finger through a hole in the glass itself. The actual mechanism is a tool-free clip/latch (卡扣) system:

The white side panel uses a snap-fit installation — you just pull outward and the glass panel opens. There’s no drilled finger-hole in the tempered glass — that would be a structural weak point and defeat the point of showing off hardware.
Rather than the traditional screw-mount, the side panels use a snap-fit quick-release design, so you don’t need to unscrew anything during regular disassembly, which also avoids the risk of the glass panel accidentally falling and cracking.
The front panel (not the side glass) is the one that sometimes has a genuine finger-access gap. In one variant: to remove the front panel, you reach your hand through an opening at the bottom, grip that point, and pull the front panel outward with force — this disassembly method leaves the bottom opening without a dust filter, which risks pulling dust in through the front fan.
One user account of that same bottom-gap-pull mechanic on a related model wasn’t great UX: customer service told them to grip the bottom of the front panel and just yank it hard — doing so snapped one of the internal clips, so it’s a bit fragile if you’re not careful.

So, to directly answer your question:

Side glass panels: pull-out snap latch, no finger-hole needed — grip the edge (usually near a corner or edge seam) and pull outward. The latch fit against the case is precise, so it should release cleanly without excess force.
Front plastic panel (if your Mini variant has a similar layout): yes, there’s typically a bottom-edge gap intentionally left for finger access — insert your finger(s), hook the internal lip, and pull outward. Just don’t yank aggressively; work it evenly from both sides of the bottom edge to avoid snapping a clip.

Since panel design varies slightly between the “镜” (Mirror), “T20”, and “Mini” SKUs, I’d recommend checking your specific box/manual or the JD/Taobao product images for your exact 299 CNY Mini variant to confirm hole placement — but the general Aigo design philosophy across this whole line is snap-fit, tool-free panels rather than screw-mounted glass.
