Kensington made one for compact Macs as part of a "Maccessories Starter Pack," but I don't know if the kind of thin plastic used in such dust covers would be viable for more than a few years. It would be neat to have a vintage dust cover for your vintage Macintosh, though. :) Alternately, you might use one originally made for an old CRT monitor (or buy a suitable generic "computer dust cover").
