This'll probably sound stupid, but I was putting the side panel back on my case (nzxt switch 810) when it slipped from the lip of the case and fell about an inch to the desk. It stayed in my hand when it slipped and the force of it hitting the desk was enough to shake my monitor. Would this cause any damage whatsoever to the PC? I turned it on and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Most of the shipping issues are caused by large heatsinks putting too much pressure on the CPU.
I agree that you should be fine. It's very, very unlikely to damage anything based on the deceleration value you infer.
Other issues you may hear about are people dropping hard drives several feet, but there is big difference there since the deceleration is much larger and the shock is transmitted more directly to the critical components.
Not only was your hand apparently a shock absorber (I didn't quite understand if your hand was holding the main PC or not), but the main components are mounted which ends up absorbing much of the stress.
So...
The proof is in the pudding. You tested it and it works. Again though, there are manufacturing parameters for the shock values on the individual components which you didn't come anywhere near exceeding.
