The fluffy half of self-stick Velcro

You might try Sugru around the edges of the viewfinder.

Shaping a sugru part to fit over the viewfinder would be the popular answer.

However, sugru isn't really all that soft. I'd suggest trying self-stick Velcro, which is backed with a pretty good adhesive. Ignore the hooks part; the other part is basically soft and fluffy, so unlikely to scratch anything.  Self-stick (backed) craft foam would be ok too, but it doesn't hold up very well, so you'd be replacing the foam bits often (and the pieces get a little messy when they fall apart).
