Solutions to covering exposed pin headers using a cap

I have the following 6 pin headers exposed which is attached to a cable. I was wondering if there was a solution to protect the pins using a cap system like a usb stick cap. Since this will be going in my bag, I dont want to have it break/bend during travel.

It's inherently fragile. If you've got access to 3D parametric modelling software and a 3D printer or are willing to fiddle with castable polyurethane and modelling clay you could make a more professional looking cap, but that seems like a lot of effort unless you're planning on making lots of them.
