Here's 100 of them for $5. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002KT11XO

I agree with the idea of buying in bulk, but the thread geometry on the ones you linked isn't very wide/flat. :dunno

Most CPs like the one you posted are top hinged... wouldn't that work better for you?

It totally would, but i'm now leaning towards the original design of CP - this would have the vinyl wrapping around the front to the back, so only way for it to open sensibly and without ruining the vinyl over time would be from the bottom...
JudgeRob:
Yes, I could not see how OND envisioned the CP to be accessed after the fact. He seemed to say to glue it all together. I went with a more conventional hinged top piece that does not wrap around the front. I'm currently in the process of making the CP right now.
I also have batons in front to mount it to the bottom. If you want to see how mine looks:

Nice, thanks.
I think I'm going to try some kind of hybrid - saw a hinged magnet version which looks promising, with magnets holding it at the back and hinge on the bottom front so the whole lot opens outwards. Darling Failing (damn autocorrect!) that I'm going to go for bottom access I think...
With your top access, how are you fixing without having anything showing?
