Flash Drive Rescue Kit!

Flash Drive Rescue Kit!
Ok, so it gets tiring to carry a CD case around, it even gets old either having a pocket full of USB Flash Drives rattling around, either in a carry case or not.

This Instructable came about from such annoyance..
I usually have USB Flash Drives, a Micro-SDHC card reader and several different micro SD's that have various bootable linux/PE/ tools on them.

Why not have em in one clean package??

you can find something like this at most pharmacies or even large grocery stores.

Make sure the length looks OK for the drives.

If you limited yourself to just the latest 64GB micro-SDXC cards you should be able to fit about half the Library of Congress in that "pill bottle".
