I can't say enough good things about this USB Flash Drive. The device itself is no bigger than 2 pennies end to end. When you purchase the device PQI supplies a credit card like holder for the card and a sheath that you can put it into with a USB port on it. You might be able to see it here:http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=20-214-008-02.jpg
when it was $51.00 w/free shipping. Now on http://www.newegg.com they are going for $40.00 w/$3.99 shipping. The great thing is that the 1GB stick going for $77.00 w/3.99 shipping. The cards really can't be beat for form, function and reliability.

The most surprising thing of all is that I lost my stick in the parking lot at my work so I ordered a new one. Once I got my new one I got a call from someone who picked up my card. When I got the card back the gentleman informed me that it had been run over by a car and it was still functioning fine with the small hairline crack in it. That shows me that PQI builds a quality product and I highly recommend this Flash Drive to anyone looking for a quality portable storage device.

Almost forgot. Provided with the package are instructions for mounting the stick within Linux so there wont be any of those mounting USB Flash Drive questions resulting from this purchase :)
