Tear-out foam padding

Does anybody know a source for the foam padding that is covered
with a grid of cuts halfway through the foam? The cuts are 1/2" apart,
and intended to allow the user to tear out small squares of foam,
half the depth of the pad, leaving a cavity shaped to hold an object snugly.
It's ideal for eyepieces and other astronomy equipment.

Lowe's sells an attache case ($25) that comes with this foam installed,
but I want to use it in a custom job. Maybe more than one job,
if it works well. I could use about 4 square feet, 3" thick.

Thanks.

Orion sells this type replacement foam for the aluminum cases that should work. Cost is about $15.
