Verbatim Smart 4GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Model 97087 Verbatim Smart 4GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Model 97087

Pros: Its capless, its a retractable usb stick, its small, its *BEACH* proof as in i swam with it attached to my keys and it still works fine. So over all its perfect for me. considering as far as i know its water proof.

Cons: It takes a while for a PC to recognize the device first time, drivers install.

Other Thoughts: Could have advertized it as waterproof.

Pros: The part that inserts into the USB port on your computer retracts into the body of the flash drive. There is a large, durable "ring" for attaching this flash drive to your key chain or a lanyard.

Cons: The lock that keeps the USB connector from retracting into the body does not work. It worked initially but after being used only twice it no longer keeps the USB connector extended when inserting it into a USB port. Unless you keep your thumb on the lock the USB connector will retract into the body. This is very inconvenient when attempting to plug it into tight areas (around other cords, etc.)

Other Thoughts: I would not recommend this flash drive.

Pros: About as fast as most others in this priceclass, if not above avarage.

Cons: The extend mechanism worked good at first, but after about a month of moderate use it will not stay extended. Even the the slightest preasure will retract the connector into the flash drive as you push it in. This can make it frustrating and time consuming to insert the drive, specially if the usb slot is hard to reach since you have to hold it in place.

Other Thoughts: The housing feels sturdy enough even though it is made entirely of plastic. Would not recommend it.
