What is claimed is: 1. A switching device for use on flexible material comprising, in combination: a core member having a flange portion and a raised portion extending from the flange portion; a switch supported by the core member and configured to be operably connected to an electrical device; and a cover, wherein resistance required to activate the switch beyond that provided by a user's fingers is provided solely by the core member, the switch, the cover, or any combination thereof. 2. The switching device of claim 1, wherein the switch comprises two switching elements operably connected in series. 3. The switching device of claim 1, wherein the switch includes a tactile response dome. 4. The switching device of claim 1, wherein the core member is formed of a thermoplastic elastomer. 5. The switching device of claim 1, wherein the core member is formed of a rigid plastic. 6. The switching device of claim 1, wherein the cover is formed of a thermoplastic elastomer. 7. The switching device of claim 1, wherein the cover is formed of rigid plastic. 8. The switching device of claim 1, wherein the core member includes a flange portion and a raised portion, the raised portion extending outwardly from the flange portion. 9. The switching device of claim 1, wherein the cover includes a flange portion and a raised portion, the raised portion extending outwardly from the flange portion. 10. The switching device of claim 1, wherein the switch is a textile switch. 11. The switching device of claim 1, further comprising a fastener for removably attaching the switching device to a flexible material. 12. A switching device for use on flexible material comprising, in combination: a piece of flexible material; a core member secured to the flexible material and having a flange portion and a raised portion extending from the flange portion; a switch supported by the core member and configured to be operably connected to an electrical device; and a cover, wherein resistance required to activate the switch beyond that provided by a user's fingers is provided solely by the core member, the switch, the cover, or any combination thereof. 13. The switching device of claim 12, wherein the switch comprises two switching elements operably connected in series. 14. The switching device of claim 12, wherein the switch includes a tactile response dome. 15. The switching device of claim 12, wherein the core member includes a flange portion and a raised portion, the raised portion extending outwardly from the flange portion. 16. The switching device of claim 12, wherein the cover includes a flange portion and a raised portion, the raised portion extending outwardly from the flange portion. 17. The switching device of claim 12, wherein the switch is a textile switch. 18. The switching device of claim 12, further comprising a fastener for removably attaching the switching device to a flexible material. 19. An electrically operated component for use on flexible material comprising, in combination: an electrically operated component; a metallic snap fastener having a first portion secured to the electrically operated component, and a second portion configured to be secured to a piece of flexible material, the first portion comprising a first pair of metallic snap members, the second portion comprising a second pair of metallic snap members configured to mate with the first pair of metallic snap members; and a retaining member formed of an elastic material and having a cavity formed therein, the cavity configured to elastically receive the electrically operated component. 20. The electrically operated component of claim 19, wherein the first and second pairs of metallic snap members are mating male and female snap members.
