MacBook air slides around on smooth surface--ideas?

Anyone know a simple solution for keeping the MacBook Air in place on a smooth surface? Its lightness and the tightness of the cover make it difficult to open without the whole thing sliding around.

Not sure what your budget is, but this or something similar

will fit the bill and protect the outer shell of the MacBook Air

as well. It also has rubber feet.

Also, you could just go the cheap route if appearances aren't an issue

and just get some stick-on rubber feet available pretty much anywhere.
