I've never gone for small before (I lose things), or decorative (seemed frivolous), or anything less than 4gb (too much hassle selecting out all the files you actually need that evening because the entire folder won't fit on your USB stick). But when I happened upon this stick in a store, I took one look at the colored skins and thought "Now THAT would be handy. Maybe when I lend this stick to someone else, I'll get it back." And besides, it was super cheap.

Now that I've actually used it, I am amazed. The skins do their job: you get three colors (counting the white one), making it easy to keep track of which stick is which. There's a label for your name and phone number, the kind of AHA! extra that makes you wonder why nobody thought it years ago. Same goes for the blazingly bright light at the tip (much easier to see than the light on the computer drive) that lets you know when the stick is in use.

But the pièce de résistance is its size: it actually FITS in the awkwardly-angled, horribly positioned USB port on the front of my computer. It's the first USB stick I've ever had that doesn't require me to crawl around on the floor in the dark behind the computer (or conduct UN-level negotiations with my USB hub and the computer to come to some sort of understanding) to get access to the files on the stick.

And I don't have to worry about losing it: it comes with a ring to attach it to a keychain, and a lanyard for those who prefer to wear it around the neck.

I am extremely happy. If I don't experience any of the durability issues others have had, I'm going to buy an entire set. Bye-bye long, elegant, professional-looking USB sticks! You've been replaced.

Very small, can fit anywhere. Works perfectly and the price was awesome. Just be careful of losing it, it really is quite tiny.

Works great! Very easy and so far very reliable. Larger capacities are now available, which may be of interest if you want to use this as a backup for your large folders (or even most of the data files on your hard drive), but for transfering files or folders from one machine to another this works just fine and the prices have tumbled, making them a real bargain as compared with multi GB versions.

I use this little USB stick almost every day. I just keep it in my pocket so it's always there when I need it. The skins aren't really necessary but if you have more than one it's a good way to distinguish between them.

This is a great little device, had have used other products by Sandisk and the keep getting smaller and more powerful. Good deal for the money.
