I have an old PS2, too. I got my flip-top a few years ago, and I honestly don't remember where I bought it. But this link looks similar:

You should see a few options there for "Swap Magic and Flip-Top combo", although I'm not sure what the differences are between the versions they offer. They don't seem to explain it, either. You could also try this link at the official Swap Magic site, which lists a bunch of retailers you can buy their stuff at:

The Swap Magic discs are what you use to fool the PS2 into thinking that a legit game has started. As you can tell by that first link, you can buy them without a flip-top lid. But without the flip-top, you have to use this thing called a slide card that you jam into your PS2 and rip out the CD tray with. I figured the flip-top lid would save my old beat-up PS2 some wear and tear, so I went with the flip-top combo.
You basically just unscrew the old case and put on a new one that has a flip-top lid over the area where the DVD rests. Then say you've got a game burned onto a DVD-R. You start the PS2 and put in the Swap Magic DVD, which will load and then give you a screen telling you to put in the game. You flip up the lid, take out the Swap Magic DVD, and put in the DVD-R (you gotta make sure it's set in there correctly... after doing it a while, you'll know if it is).
Then you hit the X button on the control and the game starts. It's really easy.
