Quick! need an old keyboard cover

my mom is still using (and prefers) the older style clear bottomed keyboard. Not the really old one with the rounded appearance and usb ports on the back left and right sides, the newer one with the more squared off appearance and the usb ports on the back in the middle by the cord.

She goes through those covers every year or so, and she's trashed the last of the spares I managed to find a year ago. But I can't find any more now. Does anyone know where I can find one or two?

this is the keyboard she has:

Take a gander at this Amazon page. Something might be suitable.

evryone seems to have covers for the newer chicklet keyboards (both external usb and laptop built-in) but it's the older clear acrylic base ones I am looking for

That would make you the "go to" guy, you'd have the market cornered.
