You might even be able to have one made with a short tabs that you could bend to clip onto the case, this would be similar to the buku caps, but at $20 for 3 and a metal one would in theory last longer than a plastic one and it would also be thinner and if you could stamp them it would be much cheaper. for that matter you could possibly machine one identical to the buku from an alloy instead of a plastic, but the cost would probably not be as cheap.
i made my own out of .05" brass it fits just like the buku. doesnt spin took all of 10 minutes to make. the sheet of brass was $2.79 and i can make like 20 of them maybe more. i wasnt going to pay $20 for three pieces of plastic so now i'll just make them when i need one
