It might work, but need the original plastic covered with foam, because the cables are "too" exposed and can get unsoldered easily  :(

if you primarily want to cover those cables go over to radio shack or whatever is by you and get some heat shrink- then very very carefully with either a hair dryer or a match (i use a match) shrink the tubing around the cables- should get them nice and sturdy
