Flash drive savers

A million (well a few) ways to short term skin your flash drive's tender circuits to save them from the ravages of your pockets...

Step 1: Skin it up

smoke rollies or joints watever because the booklets of most skins contain a space below the folded skins perfect for this and your skins are left unperturbed...

Second pic shows where the drive can be pushed in to

Funny, I had the same idea. Mine is still usable, as it is part of the case. It's a Sony Memory Stick case. There's some random button that happened to be the right size to keep the drive from swiveling in the case and a couple HDD magnets for fun.

I DONT USE THE CAPS KEY I USE SHIFT - lol

[TheShawMaestro]

I take capitalisation seriously.

[wiljo94]

What's wrong with capitalists?

[xana]

rude people think its yeling. "becuse they use it all the time and yes i do to use this CAPS LOCK" oops hehe.

[mettaurlover]

TheShawMaestro obviously doesn't understand 'ibles language. It consists of turning nouns into verbs, capitalizing most of what you say unless you're explaining something, and generally being hard to understand to most outsiders.

[xana]

AGREED.

[mettaurlover]

AGREED TO THE POINT OF BECOMING POINTLESS.

 I can't help but laugh at the timestamp for my original comment.

because Коммциіузм is better

[killerjackalope]

Parcel tape's better for in-pocket use, it wont peel or go sticky the same way... If I could just find a pez dispenser...

[geo526468]

dip in liquid electrical tape?

[twenglish1]

got another idea electrical tape cover the flash drive with electrical tape

[killerjackalope]

Pretty similar to taping up the others...

[twenglish1]

yah

[baneat]

Cover it with hot glue from a glue gun, it's permanent though.

[killerjackalope]

These are the ones for kicking about, hot glue features heavily in recasing flash drives, the lighter drive for one...

[jonathan111]

another idea

[killerjackalope]

yeah I did that the other way round with mine so I could use the pen aswell but it eventually leaked highlighter ink in to all the USB ports (They glowed under blacklights)

[Yerboogieman]

have you ever taken a highlighter apart and split the inside in a sobe bottle with water? it looks pretty kool under black light

[killerjackalope]

yeah, I remember when i was in a club with blacklights and I was covered in highlighter, i was in black so the highlighter wasn't obvious then it just appeared at times...

[Wasagi]

You could use those lead cases, for mechanical pencils. Seem about the right size.

[killerjackalope]

theyre a bit too small...

[Gage987]

I used one with the blue slide top and it was snug but it worked and then I put that inside something else and glued for a good safe holder

[killerjackalope]

Smart, I had a smaller case of them I Guess...

[LasVegas]

You forgot the condom cover!

[Gage987]

it'll melt the condom or make it brittle after a couple uses

[A good name]

Ugh... You disgust me ...

[killerjackalope]

well the ultra thin skins kaind had that look anyway and imo your flash drive breaking is as much of an emegency as being caught without one... ness i refer to the baby instructabl

[nagutron]

Plasti-Dip! Or maybe just slather the thing with epoxy....

[killerjackalope]

yeah but the idea was things people have on them a fair amount of the time, there's more to come that are ridiculous but shhhh. I have no idea were to get plasti dip in the uk either so meh...
