USB flash drive cover - help!

Postulative on 07/07/2012 - 17:28

I have recently purchased a Lexar 128gb USB key on which I can store my life. It's a nice device, good software… but no protective cap for the USB port. The case slides over the port, but doesn't cover the connection.

I've been searching for such caps, and have found that OfficeWorks will sell me a "pouch" that is open and doesn't protect the USB interface. Other than that, I can create my own (http://www.ehow.com/how_6009476_create-flash-drive-cover.htm…), or there's a company in the US that sells plastic caps (http://rookaps.com/ - I have no idea where their kangaroo comes from). Finally, I can purchase caps (in lots of 100) through DHGate or similar.

Does anyone know either of pouches for USB flash drives, or of caps that are locally obtainable? How do people protect their USB drives?

You can get a free USB cap from Corsair using this form:

Note that the cap was specifically design to fit over Corsair Voyager and GT drives, but hey… it's free.

Another option….buy a cheap HDMI cable for a buck or two on eBay. Mine have always come with protective covers that fit USB connectors perfectly.

Believe it or not this has been asked before. Crazy right?
