SanDisk 4GB Cruzer Micro Skin

I really liked the rubbery case and the fact that you could push back the rubber case and write your name on it. unfortunately, it only lasted less than a month of heavy use. I popped it in and out of probably 250 computers (I was careful about ejecting it first before pulling it out). One time I popped it in and the little light didn't come on, no computer could read it anymore. I guess I was just unfortunate.

It's the perfect size for my MacBook Pro or any computer that has USB ports that are right next to each other. Some drives have bulky housing that prevent you from using the neighboring port. You can also slide the "skin" off to make it even slimmer. I lost the cap months ago but the product still works fine. I also own the SanDisk Cruzer Micro (the one with a black body and white slide tab that pushes the connector in and out). The transfer speed is noticeably faster on this "skin" version.

I also like that it's metal and not plastic. It's small though. Keep the lanyard on. I actually like that it's short. I once had an older generation SanDisk drive (the one that was grey plastic, non-retractable, and came with different colored caps). It was plugged into a computer on the floor at work when someone walked by and bent it. So with this metal shorter version, it's stronger and won't stick out as much.

You'll probably lose the cap but you don't really need...Read more

This is a very slow drive. I use it for transferring small files at work so it doesn't bother me. The size is great, but the light on the end of it blinks constantly which is annoying. I have a 5 year old 256mb one that still works. hope this one is as reliable.
