I've looked for ways to protect a signal mirror for packing in a PSK or on a neck lanyard. Best I came up with was to use clear packing tape and put a reversed layer of tape over the mirror surface so the glue wouldn't stick. It was make-do but I wasn't satisfied.

I was in a hardware store the other day and looking through the impulse tems at the check-out counter and they had some heavy gauge plastic zip-lock lisence holders. I bought one as it looked good for neck lanyard stuff in general and when I got home I went to put it in the box with my survival spares and saw the mirror.... DING!

Works perfect-- protects the mirror and you can still hang it on a neck lanyard. Easy to deploy too-- you don't want to be fiddling around when the helicopter passes over!

I made a wallet for mine out of bubble-wrap covered with bright yellow Duct tape !!!!
 
Staples and officemax sell clear, hard plastic cases that are used to put work I.D's in and then hang around your neck, would probably work.
 
BQM has padded mirror cases for signal mirrors, 2x3 and 3x5 inch. I have one for my 3x5 inch signal mirror and it works good and provides a good level of protection.
