My Clara HD's power button has developed a hairline fracture

Apologize for the quality of the pictures, the camera was absolutely refusing to focus on the bit, and I just had to take a dozen with flash and hope I got lucky.

So, as mentioned, the power button seems to have two curved hairline cracks running down the center of the button. I think they are completely separated at this point, because I can gently depress the left side of the button and see only that half the the left of the crack flex.

I am curious if there's anything I can do to stop it from getting worse. I'm a bit peeved that this happened at all, because I've had it in an official Sleepcover since maybe Week 3 of owning the device (back in 2019), which contains a magnetic flap that is specifically supposed to protect the power button and charging port!
