Rear bumper protection

I was wondering if anyone knows of a bra for the rear of the car to protect it when you bring it to those wonderfeul parking garages where they park your car by touching the one behind it? I have seen a car or two that has a nylon material stuffed with foam and it attaches with two hooks on each side of the wheelwell. If anyone has seen something that may resemble this or knows of a company that sells something for protection it will be appreciated.
Thanks.

You only use it in the parking lots and not on the street.

I'm not really sure how a "soft, durable, high quality fabric" will protect your bumper very much if someone backs into you.

It is about 4 inches of thick foam. Also the parking attendant will not be parking your car at high speeds so this will be plenty of protection against those little dings on the rear bumper.

Lifetime NYer here, and I can tell you that people here can't park to save their lives. I have seen these bumper covers before, but I decided to make my own(too late), using carper remnants and fabric to cover it. My 6 month old car has all four corners nicked, and huge scratches on the front bumper and a busted grill.
