Cut up the casing of a bic pen, and use a longer screw to bite into the wood.

In this one older cab I got  cork was used...I removed it and put in proper feet but it seemed to work.

I've also thought of using pieces of a broken plastic clothes hanger.  I had one that was hollow.  Since it is sturdier plastic than a pen I bet it would work fine.

You also might be able to find something that will work at an electronics/computer parts store.

I agree with Shardian on the pen.  Since you aren't going to have the piece you are using be very long, its more than sturdy enough.  It's quick, easy, free, and works as well as anything else.
