Kydex
What those are made of is a material called Kydex. I have worked extensively with it for use as Knife sheath material. It can be ordered through MSC industrial supply in black, as well as in a bazillion colors from plastic supplies. Molding it is REALLY easy. It is floppy and can be laid over a mold at 300 degrees. Use some closed cell molding foam and some weight on top and wait five mins and walla! molded thermoplastic. Cuts and sands like butter. I heat mine in a kitchen oven. Don't tell the girlfriend. Heat gun is nice too.
Get a sheet and mess around with it. It is cheap enough.
And Fun!
