I wouldn't even bother to try getting "elmer's glue" to work
on that. Superglue is definitely the way to go, given those
choices. In general I find it adheres to that type of plastic
perfectly well, but may take longer to set to the point where
it's useful. Give it at least 24 hours to be safe. Honestly,
it would be overkill, but I'd let it set a few days. Glue both
sides if possible, and if there's a way to clamp the work
together without damaging the palmtop, do it.

You may even be able to remove excess with a metal nail-file.
