USB Thumb drive flash drive holder-MAKE A BELTCLIP HOLDER

Tired of having a Usb thumb drive around your neck all the time?
Be Fashionable by making a BELTCLIP HOLDER from a sport cigarette lighter.

Step 1 A better way

I got tired of having my thumb drive around my neck, I keep at least one in my pocket but I also keep a lot of keys and metal stuff that can possibly damage a plastic thumb drive.
I started thinking about modifying one of my pocket knives to hold a flash drive but quickly realized that doing so would take a lot of work. I eventually found something even better.
I remembered that I had a sport lighter that clips onto a belt loop. It also had a protective fliptop.
All I had to do was take the guts out, plus a little sanding and glueing.

PARTS NEEDED

For that certain model of lighter, the top doesn't open at least 180 degrees. Wouldn't that make it a bit troublesome to fit it in the usb drive alongside your computer?~

It's just a holder, pull the thumbdrive out to use.

The only problem I saw in it was...
