One super cheap idea that might be worth considering: clear shrink tubing. You could put whole trays of them at a time in your oven, just make sure the tubing is the right length and lined up right.

You might even be able to get away with not cutting out a hole for the button, as it could be activated through the flexible tubing.

This was exactly my first thought, it wouldn't be as strong to protect it from breaking but it's still better than nothing.
