I carry mine in my pocket for that reason. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

For durability on a kay cahin, I might suggest a Sandisk Microcuizer, becuase the hasp for the drive is ON the drive, not the cover. Replace the cord with a small split ring to hang it off you keys, and wrap the body of the drive with a single layer of electricians tape so that when you use the large cover, it STAYS on. Throw away the little cover, it is worthless, keep the lanyard for other projects.
