    Newegg has this drive for only $20 with free shipping. This looks to be going for around $40 every other place.

    Bah! I just bought one for $40.

    I'd buy this one, but I don't have a use for the 16gb I have right now.

    The plastic feels very cheap; it feels very light, flimsy. It doesn't feel professional grade but I think it is sturdy enough to be lobbed into your backpack or pocket and won't suffer from wear and tear for a long time.

    Another plus is that it is capless but it is not the best capless design b/c when it is not plugged into a computer usb port, the usb port of the flash drive is still open and dust will surely enter it.
