I've not worked with engineered veneer or paperback, so can't advise on using those products. For the adhesive, I'd give strong consideration to the recommendation of the veneer product, but not contact cement.
If you've not worked with vacuum veneering I'd strongly suggest either Darryl Keil's videos "Working with Veneer" and "Working in a Vacuum;" or his book, for starters. Paul Schurch's first video "Decorative Veneering" is also very helpful. There is some overlap with Darryl's videos but Paul's covers some material not covered by Darryl. His presentation of some of the veneering tools is excellent.
Get a first piece of your intended veneer and make some prototypes of your display case pieces to get some experience with the tools, the adhesive, and the veneer and how it handles.
What will be your substrate, and how will you be joining the various pieces of the display case?
