Awsome project. I did this myself after reading your instructable. I used a super thin usb with retractable tip. With the modification of cutting a small trnch so that i can side it in and out. The fit was snug so no glue nessicary. It works great for my usb port in my car! I've had issues with breakins but one ones going to bust my window for a winecork :) thanks!

Haha. I didn’t know your wine bottle neck was that long.

is your cat having kittens or is it just, well.. fat? no offence, really, just guessing :)

Just a quick question:  How does putting the circuit board in the cork affect the functionality of the USB over time?  Are there any negative effects?  If not, I will surely do this to my USB, mainly because the plastic case is breaking.

Unsure as I just completed this two days ago, also why I suggest finding a cheap usb drive to test this with first 128 mb ones usually fall under the $5 mark nowadays also mine has not been filled with glue which leaves plenty of ventilation.

Yeah, I was going to leaev the glue out, too.  I have an old crappy USB drive I could test it on before I use it on my main one.

jimboi$best in regards to geekvig - paying attention to step 3 often leads to poor spelling.

[geekvig]

The most important step is of course step three.  If you fail to perform this step correctly your USB may malfunction.  ;p
