I just picked up some at Lowes a couple days ago. They're actually used as edge protectors and I found them in the wallpaper department. The only downside is that they're transparent, but I successfully spraypainted mine black. They're a lot cheaper than what's online and they come in different sizes. I bought one 4' in length for about $2.50.

I have used the plastic transparent stuff in the past, but I later switched over to using aluminum edge trim (painted black) as it is much more sturdy.

I also went with the aluminum edge trimming--alot cheaper than standard retainer when you factor in the fact that you can just go to the store and buy an 8' length for $6.00

I picked up some aluminum angle pieces from Home Depot. I have to shape the bottom piece because the speaker panel has a 45 degree angle to deal with. I'll get some pictures up on my site soon...
