You might try Sugru around the edges of the viewfinder.
Shaping a sugru part to fit over the viewfinder would be the popular answer.
Thanks. I've never really used Sugru, and thermoplastic would be even worse.
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).
However, it is my experience that the glue on the self-stick Velcro (tm) doesn't really stick long term. I find in my craft projects, I have to replace it every so often (or if it is a wood project, staple the velcro to the wood).
Hmm. I guess YMMV. I've more often had the problem that I can't get the self-stick Velcro off if I want to. Then again, wood that hasn't been finished is about the least friendly thing for it to stick too; here is should be painted metal/plastic with a smooth finish. Certainly, without the stress of repeatedly bonding/tearing the mating Velcro it should stay in place much better....
