Cable / frame protectors - where from?

I was looking at a 2011 Bianchi Infinito at the weekend (nice bike!) and noticed some clever rubber "tubes" that fitted over the cables where they touched the headtube. They were made from a nice soft rubber, approx 1" long and were split down one side so could be easily fitted over existing cables.
They looked helluva lot better than carbon patches applied direct to the frame, but I can't find anything similar on t'internet
Has anyone seen something similar available online anywhere?
Thanks

Clever - but pricey
I use a self adhesive puncture repair patch (clear) - from ParkTools... must train harder0 -
Thanks all for your replies - I'll have a quick google..:)
For a second I did think I may have found a gap in a particularly lucrative market!

How much?!
Still think someone who brings these out at a more sensible cost could be onto a winner...
Any other "bodge it" suggestions?Titus Silk Road Ti rigid 29er - Scott Solace 10 disc - Kinesis Crosslight Pro6 disc - Scott CR1 SL - Pinnacle Arkose X 650b - Pinnacle Arkose singlespeed - Specialized Singlecross...& an Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 4 string...0 -
Frame patches don't have to be carbon - just get clear ones.
Or buy some helicopter tape and cut to shape.0 -
