Plug for USB key?

I'm trying to find a rubber or silicone stopper/plug to fit into my USB key. I have one of those retractable kinds that doesn't come with a cap, and I'd like to have something to keep dust and moisture out.

I can't seem to find anything like it though online. The closest thing I've been able to find are rubber sleeves that fit over the part that you plug into the computer. I'm looking for something that fits inside the connector.

Kind of like a stopper for ports on cell phones. Something like this:

Anybody know where I could get something like that?

    You could probably make one out of Sugru (a moldable silicoln putty).

    Thanks, I saw those, but they are the sleeve ones that fit over the connector. I am surprised that these things don't exist! :(

    Never thought about making my own out of Sugru.. in fact, never even knew Sugru existed! I'm learning about it right now! Thanks Improvolone!
