Now this might be not a good suggestion as the involved item is way older
and probably harder to acquire than an empty CoCo cart case, but I seem to
recall that them vintage 8-track tapes had a case that actually fit the
CoCo side opening.

My mind may be missing more oxide on this regard than a 40 years vintage
8-track tape so adjust your contrast and brightness accordingly.
