I put my TV-B-Gone in an old Motorola cell phone. It was a very tight fit (the case doesn't close as tightly as I would like), but it still looks reasonably like a cell phone if you're not paying attention (and who pays attention to cell phones anymore?)
I admit the flat-head screw as button is a bit cheesy, but I couldn't find anything else lying around that would work as well.

Re: cell phone case mod
I bought a box lot of old broken mobiles to try to do the same with, but they were all too small. That brick you have is ideal.
I was hoping to use the LiPo from one of the phones to power it, but they were all swelling up or just refusing to take a charge.

Re: cell phone case mod
I've seen people selling old (and big) cell phones on the sidewalk in big cities all around the world.
If you can find any cell phone with a battery that works, these are the best batteries for getting very high power from your TV-B-Gone remote (LiPo batteries have extremely high current capability, partly because of their very low internal resistance).

Re: cell phone case mod
small size and protection of the device are important but Im cheap. I found a toothpick case that cut in half fit perfectly over the component side plus t's flexible enough to allow resetting
