Steering wheel covers

Anybody have a suggestion for a good quality steering wheel cover? My 2011 steering wheel is in great shape and I want to keep it that way. Most ones I have seen are not tight enough and slip when you move the wheel.

Most of the "slip on" type covers you find in the automotive stores are usually too thick.
I was trying to preserve the leather on the steering wheel also. Tried a couple different covers. They all seemed too thick. So, I went in the opposite direction. I bought a cheap, thin,streachable $5 cover, then wrapped it in place with some thin black yarn. It ain't perfect but it works for me.
P.S. The flash on the pic really makes the yarn noticable. In real life it doesn't stand out that much.

The "Redskins" cover on my wife's Mazda is a.) too thick for my tastes and b.) does not move at all. It was very difficult to get on.
