Zipper attachment assembly

A unitary zipper attachment assembly comprising:

• A) a monolithic one-piece base having two outside end edges, two outside side edges, a front surface and a back surface;
• B) a zipper mechanism mounted on said base front surface adjacent to and spaced from both of said outside side edges and adjacent to and spaced from both of said outside end edges to be completely surrounded by said base, said base having a monolithic border completely surrounding said zipper mechanism, said zipper mechanism having a first end located adjacent to and spaced from a first outside end edge of said base end edges, a second end located adjacent to and spaced from a second outside end edge of said base end edges, a first side located adjacent to and spaced from one outside side edge of said base side edges, a second side located adjacent to and spaced from a second outside side edge of said base side edges, a first end piece on said zipper mechanism first end, and a second end piece on said zipper mechanism second end;
• C) zipper side elements attaching said zipper mechanism to said base front surface and spacing said zipper mechanism from said base;
• D) adhesive material on said base back surface and covering essentially the entire base back surface;
• E) a monolithic, uninterrupted one-piece protective cover releasably attached to said base back surface via said adhesive material to cover essentially the entire base back surface;
• and
• F) an opening defined through said base beneath said zipper mechanism, said opening including a first end located adjacent to said zipper mechanism first end, a second end located adjacent to said zipper mechanism second end, said border completely surrounding said opening on all peripheral locations of said opening.
