Hey I know I am a bit late here but have you tried combat/ tactical gloves. They are padded so it is extremely hard to over extend or break your fingers. It also has knuckle pads, palm and top hand protection, water proofed, ect. Just look into them, they are used by the us millitary so they must me good for something and plus you still have a functional hand; not one trapped in a case. I use them.
