	Well, for the twiddler you could do something much like an
engineer's raincoat (green garbage bag with three holes - head and arms),
you could stick a sandwich bag around it and secure with a twist-tie. 

	For the not-quite-so-low-tech solution, maybe you could mold a
jacket for it, much like the spill-guard soft plastic covers that go over
