Angry Door handle chrome peeling sharp edge

I have the chrome peeling from the right side door handle of my roadster. Very sharp, have had cuts. I think this is a common problem. Ideas for how to cover?

I used these on both doors. They are a little short length wise, but fully wrap around the handle and secure with velcro. I did match the color better with some leather dye. They have been on my car for 8 years and still like new. They are built for Corvetts : door wrap

This is the one I bought from J-F Custom Leather from UK made for Crossfire.

Chrysler Crossfire leather door handle cover

Bought it a year and half ago. Fits fine and looks nice and feels good. They sell different colors with different color stitching.
Shipped from UK but I believe it arrived in less than two weeks.

I also bought some wide chrome tape and thought about using that. But went with the leather look.

Here's a company that chrome plates plastic and may offer other options. There are probably a lot of others if you want to keep the factory look.
