Hey I am looking to buy a keychain thumbdrive that is very rugged and durable since it will be on my Keychain.

I was thinking 1-2gb

What you got?
Please change your sig so it conforms to the sig guidelines. Thank you. OreoCookie

Your sig is way too big. Way, way too big.

Incidentally, my friend has a Lexar JumpDrive Sport that is more or less indestructible. It has a stretchy rubber cover over the USB connector that won't get lost and will stay on through pretty much anything.

$15 at Amazon.

Also check out this one from Imation.

i have a 2gb sandisk micro cruzer.

it is nice because it has a retractable usb connector, so you don't have to worry about damaging it, or losing a cap, because there is no cap. it is also highly rated.

i'm asking $22 paypaled and shipped.

costs $40 at buy.com

Buy.com - SanDisk 2GB Cruzer Micro USB 2.0 Flash Drive - SDCZ6-2048-A10

i have done many transactions on these forums

One thought - the ones that have the retracting USB connector still leave the connector exposed - if you put that in your pocket or on your keys, you risk damaging the contacts on the connector. Once the contacts are damaged and can't make a connection with a USB port, you're SOL and your data's gone.

I'm just sayin'.
