Any flexible vinyl would work as would a sturdy fabric such as duck cloth or canvas, vinyl would be easier to keep clean. Even a heavy gauge vinyl/PVA shower curtain would work. Wal-Mart (in stores with fabric) or JoAnn, Michaels or Hobby Lobby also sell vinyl of various gauges to measure.  A six inch strip (1/6 yard) would provide material to repair a few dozen such hinges. I think Benderm might be a bit too thin to hold up for long term use. I've used it for a hinge repair on a polycarbonate box and it tore after a few months of very infrequent use.
