Have you considered just printing what you need? Something that small is
pretty fast and cheap to print and you can get the details the way 
you want them.

This enclosure is printed with PLA (left) and translucent PETG (right). Holes
for an LED and to access a reset button. About 35mm x 20mm x 14mm
