That is, essentially, what at least the third-party crackers were - a

plastic-dip handles.
Hopefully that description will help you spot one in a hardware/home
improvement store. They shouldn't be expensive.

Can someone point me to somewhere where I can get
a case cracker of some
sort? I don't think I'm going to score an official Apple one, so I'll
settle for one that looks like the one on this page:

I've used a clamp like you would use for holding up a tarp while
welding. Yes, this is a really bad explanation. You shove the tip
in the crack, and as you squeeze the clamp open, it pries the case
apart.
