I was looking throught my junk drawer, and I found some old, USB flash drives. The shells were scuffed up and pretty beaten up from being attached to my keychaing for a long time, so I decided to change it out, and here is what a came up with:
As you can see, I removed the old shell and wrapped the flash drive board with electrical tape.
It actually works quite nicely! They are much thiner so they fit better in the usb slots, and I really like the feel of the tape. The only problem I thought I might have was overheating, but so far it's not an issue.
Had they been identical I could have used different colors to tell them appart, but as they are of different shapes, it's pretty easy already. I should have thought of this earlier, but I could have put in some string to create a loop at the end. I suppose I could unwrap the tape and insert the string, but maybe I'll do it some other time.
