Good, tough, good looking MTB chains Tay protector?

I just bought a 2017 Turner Czar frame which has square chainstays with the der cable running through housing on top. Is there a nice, durable, good looking generic chainstay protector out there that would fit? The velcro-on neoprene guards look kinda bloated and sloppy.

I like to use Newbaums bartape in a matching color
Works well and super easy to apply

Used road tubes have worked well for me.

I too love the used road tube.
I had the neoprene ones before and they move around and trap grit under them.
While the bling factor is non-existant for a road tube it more than makes up for it with the set it and forget it performance.
Clint Gibbs has an awesome tutorial on YouTube for a clean install.

Clear Gorilla tape is pretty thick and has worked on some frames for me, some people use it instead of the thicker helicopter tape. I've also seen the road tube used, but if going this route latex tubes are WAY better than the butyl.
