RSSModded USB lexar stick
Here's a clever way to slim down a big USB drive, MAKE Flickr photo pool member Mushmouth26 writes "This was one of those big bulky 1gb Lexar sticks. I cracked the case off of it and dipped in yellow Plasti dip, I bought at home depot.. Fits great in my pocket now and it is super slim. " - Link.

agreed Sonic, it looks a little too flexible for my pockets, maybe a dip, epoxy on a nice backer of plastic, and a few more dips for good measure.
Or even epoxy then dip a handful or so of times.

Neat. But lately I've found that the PQI I-stick can't be beat for size. It's 2mm thick and the length is 2 pennies side by side. It comes with a "holder" that fits in your wallet or I just carry mine in the normal USB shell, which is pretty small too. When I find a USB slot that the shell won't fit (laptops, argh and some dell pcs) I pull it out of it's shell and there's no space it can't fit!

I am with beakmyn on this one. My gadgeteer self beats down my maker self and says "just buy it" :D
PQI and Pretec make some real minis while still having enough shell to protect them.
GIS: i-disk tiny or i-disk diamond
I like the look of that dip stuff tho!
