Mike, 

You might want to look into replacing the screws with security screws
and filling as much of the interior with hot glue as possible.  Hot
glue is a hair bit cheaper than epoxy and far more flexible and
removable. It also molds well. The extra padding it would provide will
re-enforce the plastic housing.

Just take care, because not only is it Hot, it has a HIGH heat
capacity, so unlike solder (ouch) it doesn't cool quickly when coming
in contact with skin (really ouch).  I've gotten some nice 2nd degree
burns from this stuff, but never with any frequency.

Any way you cut it, count on destroying one in the "kid proofing"
process . . . It's best to sacrifice one to see just how they can die.

Also,  those nice clips on the back -- count them as lost.  Likely 1/4
 to 1/3 will come back broken off.  It takes a monster of a clip
design to survive kids, and these aren't likely to be big enough to
have a well built clip.
