The original material on the .jp web site looks like non-woven
interfacing material used to provide "body" to shirt cuffs, collars,
and similar.  It's cheap, can be cut to fit exactly, and is white to
match the iMac.  You could easily get 10-15 strips out of .5 yd of
material, and that should be <$5.  I'd used light-weight double-sided
3M tape to attach it.  It comes in various weights (for various
stiffnesses of collars/weights of material used to make your garment),
so getting the lightest weight would be best, I'd think.

I think this will be an addition to all the PC's in Vegas...the dust
here is a creeping menace.
