I have a nifty military, new style signal mirror. It floats, is made of acylic and has a peel off protector that stays attached and can be stuck back on. Very well designed. I do not know of a source without enlisting and getting in the right career field! I will look around the net and see if anyone sells them. Cheers <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The NSN is 6350-00-105-1252 made in 1986 by the School of Survival Specialties in Spokane, WA. I went to their website and all they sold was starflash mirrors. I guess mine is an antique now! It has a vinyl sheet that covers the mirror surface, it peels off and sticks back on when you are done with it. Too bad they seem to be extinct! Cheers!

I used to protect my StarFlash (2x3) with a piece of paper over the front, then the whole mess wrapped with masking tape.

I just recently found that this smaller StarFlash fits perfectly in the photo/credit card holders you find in wallets. Buy a refill of those photo holders and you can tear individual "pockets" off of the thing similar to ripping off a yellow sticky note from its pad (tear carefully, however).

I just thought of another option- collectible card protectors. Go to any place that sells things like Magic the Gathering and/or Yu-Gi-Oh, they should have some. They're about the size of a playing card.
