One of these! It's done me well for a long time and the cable is very durable.
My only complaint with the BOYA is that the Micro USB isn't at 90 degrees so sticks out quite a bit. Keep this in mind when positioning the GoPro.
Cheap ebay ones just aren't worth the hassle, I ordered 5 different ones before getting the BOYA. Admittedly they were only a quid or two each.

You have a few options. The GoPro skeleton frame, works fine but I have filed the slot every so slightly for the micro USB as the mic never seems to be in quite as it should.
Aftermarket CNC machined housings have a much larger slot and some come with a lens cover and you can attach filters to the front. That way you don't risk using the camera without something over the lens. Some come with mounts for accessories.
Or, use the normal full waterproof housing and drill a hole and file to shape. This is the cheapest way but you do lose the waterproofness! But then again you lose that feature with the above.
