    i am using this usb-stick https://www.sandisk.com/home/usb-flash/ultra-fit and i am pretty happy. but i wanna have it close to me. ideally at all times. i dont wanna put it on my keys because i am using a shackle.

    i have no space for it. besides that, i wanna protect it so it doesn’t get hit and damaged. so was looking for a titanium capsule, as small as possible, just enough space to fit it in. i can’t find any. most are too slim with around 11,5mm inner diameter or really really big. A perfect solution would be capsule small enough to carry it around my neck.
    do you have any ideas? is there anyone who can make me one? i would prefer titanium ;)

    would be great to hear your thoughts on this and see if there are any solutions already.

    I carry rugged USB sticks and don’t have to worry about it.
    Not yet at least.

    i do use these too. i would like to protect my usb stick against water and physical influences like it getting hit by stuff. so i would like to put it into a container. my big problem is, that these capsules are way too big or just a little bit too small.

    OP mentioned carrying via a necklace or lanyard around his neck. So my suggestion here won’t be what he wants.

    However…. for a pocket or a bag, I’m a big fan of repurposing prescription ‘bottles’. Lightweight, usually with a reasonably dust proof cap.

    Just thought I’d toss it out there.

    L’chaim!

    I have been carrying these EDC on a Keychain for a few years now and they have been through all forms of terror and have been flawless.
    So I have to wonder why try to find something bulky when you can just carry rugged in the first place?

    I’ve been keeping my USB sticks in one of these. They are getting so small these days I can fit dang near half a terabyte in it! I’ve been using one for almost 2 years with nary an issue.

    What about using a USB stick which is protected already like the Flash Survivor or the black Flash Survivor Stealth from Corsair? Dimensions too big?
    There was another one from LaCie – the XtremKey – but as I know it’s discontinued.

    Off subject from the original post, but these look like they’d be perfect for my hearing aids when I have to take them off while away from home. Thanks.

    I have a couple of the knockoff from ebay and like them. I find the $9 a box shipped off there hard to swallow dang sure aint paying $21 plus shipping.

    In the meantime I got the Corsair USB-stick and I really like it. A tough case but big dimensions also.
