Step 6Place the Magnets!
Now, take two magnets and place them at the unhinged end of the lighter.
This will keep your thumb drive closed so dust doesn't get in it.
I used a old harddrive magnet, that i broke in half.

Magnets have no effect on flash memory. This is why solid state is so great. :)

flash memory doesnt wrie magnetically. thats disk drives. i made something similar to this at one point. 2 microSD cards rigged to a custom twin USB hub. i kept the flint and everything, and the wheel made the plug extend and retract. also downloaded portableapps and had a zippo skin applied to the startup menu.
