[sdiy] Covers / shroud for unused header pins?

I was wondering if anyone can point at some product or tell me how you would handle the problem of exposed unused pins on headers?

Yesterday, I burned out a board when an exposed piece of connector happened to touch some exposed pins while opening and closing the case. I've looked around for some sort of a cap or cover so the pins are exposed to shorting and I'm surprised I'm not finding anything? Maybe I just don't know what they are called.

Does anyone have a solution to these exposed pins? I might just 3d print something but that seems excessive from a fiddly time perspective.
