Pocket-worthy Thumb Drives

I have a slew of thumb drives/flash keys that I tend to misplace. I misplace them because I’m a bit too anal about my gear. I don’t go to the extreme of carrying a felt bag for my sunglasses, but I do get a bit perturbed if I think the contents of my pockets may scratch one another. So, thumb drives only have the briefest of travels near my keychain. They never go in the other pocket with the phone. Anyway, these exact thoughts went through my head earlier today when I happened upon a gifted thumb drive I’d been protecting (and not carrying). So, imagine my surprise when I saw this at Lifehacker. Amazingly I hadn’t seen it at TUAW yet, which tends to be on my daily read list. Very tempting.

    Outstanding! $25 for 4 GB, not bad at all. Can people get custom engraving too?!

      Not a bad price but definitely paying a premium for the durability. Given an opportunity for engraving, I’d probably go too geeky, “4000000 Key-lobytes!”
