For the Twiddler, you could just wrap it in a plastic bag, if the
texture
can be made slightly less slick.  Or perhaps a plastic hardshell with
hand
port?

For a HUD, I'd guess you'd need to weatherproof the whole thing with a
thin
layer of plastic - sort of like that temporary window plastic for
winterizing
houses.
