I got back from a week of leave on Monday, and found that someone had
helpfully covered my entire desk with such a Korgan Portector knock-off.

I can happily report that the can of spam was on the outside of the 
Portector, not the inside.  And my portal remained unmolested for the
entire duration of my holiday.  Couldn't be happier!

Thanks, Korgan!
