|  C16/Plus 4 Dust Cover?
Does such a thing exist? I've never seen one and googling didn't turn up anything promising.
They exist for the VIC-20, 64 and 128. I assume Commodore or someone else made them at some point.
Confirmations? Denials? Pics?
Cheers,
Sean

A 64 dust cover will fit the 16. Never saw one for the Plus/4 here in the US.

I don't think any one of us can outright deny it, I mean, it's possible that something like that does exist. Maybe by some third party company anyway. However, I personally never heard of it, so my guess would be "no such thing".

Csabo, I used to have some 64 and 1541 dust covers, but they've since gone to the dustbin. (See what I did there? haha)
Photos galore at this Google images link. :)

The generically-labeled Commodore dustcover (for the C64) will fit the C16 just fine.

Some terry towelling beer cloths are around the right size to cover a Plus/4, maybe a little longer but this extra length can folded around the underside of the Plus/4 to keep it in place.
Some tea towels for drying dishes folded in half longways are about the same size as a C16, they could be used to cover a Plus/4. Plain colours are available as I have one to cover my C64, and I actually have one on top of my C16 cover lol. My C16 cover which is a proper C64 one is silver and it's a bit off putting if watching TV, I have dark red ones which match my room colour.

Thanks for all the responses!
I'll go the plain Commodore cover route. Didn't realize they would fit. I think I have a couple up in a closet somewhere.

Cool. 
I went looking for slim line electronic Type Writer keyboard covers just in case they could be useful.
I was surprised to see they have gone out of fashion quicker than the dinosaurs of 230million years ago. I wonder why...
