Pouch for Garmin inReach?

I scratched the screen on my inReach the very first week of owning it ... so I'm going to need to stick it in a protective pouch or something rather than blowing in the wind.
(it's also convinced me I should also carry my PLB buried deep in my pack in case I go for another tumble which would smash the inReach to pieces)
I've got plenty of pouches that'll do in a pinch but if there's something really suitable I'd like to know about it.

I would just buy a cheap screen protector and cut it to size. The screen is recessed so it stays put - I have done this for mine. I bought one from a cheap shop for a few bucks ...

Not a good idea if you take a tumble and can't reach/retrieve it from your pack.

My concern too, just carrying it in a clear zip lock at the moment at the top and on the right side of my R'sack for easy access. The best solution I reckon is the screen protector and zip-lock. That Amazon thing looks very good but perhaps overkill? Still deciding.....

So I ended up getting a guy on Etsy to make me a pouch:
