Well, I got it at a Goodwill for like 20 cents. I also got another. They have different designs.
I modified one to fit over the back of my calc(cut a hole) and I will send one to you for $30.
They aren't for sale. I like them.

Ah..... One has blue circles and one has orange rectangles.
The bad part of making it internal is that I soldered all day andburnt my hand on the #$$@ dremel tool!

The thing with that though is that I know I'm almost always going to hurt myself modding or disassembling something, so once I do, I know I'm pretty much safe until I move on to a new project. D:
Did you burn yourself by touching the tool after it had been spinning a while, or while it was spinning?
Well, I haven't injured myself at all so far, but I've only been prying the case open with a screwdriver and slicing and grinding things with a dremel.
But, I ground down the PCB more, and if I go much further there's a definite possibility of mucking up the keypad (particularly ON). The good news is that the port is almost flush with the front half of the case. (Not so with the back half because the back is angled)

Nothing's connected yet. I haven't done any soldering at all for the project yet. Maybe I'll do that tonight, too. (Read: in all likelyhood)
EDIT: Ok, I added some fresh pics.

Wow, that's looking really professional. I'm going to have to start doing this to my own calculator now...
I was using a drill bit that I don't think was even origionally for a dremel tool. I had to tape it to get it to work. Well, when I was done, I took the tip out and burned myself on it. It was hot.
Ah, I suspected something like that. I have made such a mistake more times than I'd care to recount.
