I used paint...

When the paint gets worn out, I'll use either plexi or another material. Only reason I don't do it now is I don't feel like redoing all the controls :P

Thats a really good idea. Where do you get this stuff? Office store or something? I like the in-expensive solutions!

I bought it at an office supply store yes. A few euro for a roll. I figured since it was designed to protect books it would work for a CP too (and indeed it does).
