Cool Mods – Make your own indestructible USB thumb drive
Posted 19 Mar. 2008 9:00 AM in Mods by Roland Hutchinson
Check out this funky homemade indestructible USB thumb drive called the USB Armor Drive.
The aim of this project was fairly straight forward. The keychain ring on my Corsair 1GB Flash Voyager USB drive from Newegg broke, which left the poor thing prone to be left in the lab. The style of this USB mod takes inspiration from the many, many, many aluminum peripheral electronic cases found around on the Internet.
This is a great mod, and a very stylish looking USB drive, if these were on sale I would definitely buy one.
If you want to make your own head on over RJ3 Labs for full instructions.

indestructible? bullshit. someone could easily take a hammer to the usb end of the thing. then it’s useless.
these projects are stupid. Not even trying to be a dick, but there’s no point if it can still be rendered inoperable.

Indestructible is a pretty ballsy term. Suppose I put it in a steel furnace.

Well Dave, yes you could smash the connectors, but assuming you werent talking about a sledge hammer im fairly confident the data would be ok, a pig tailed wire and a soldering iron and your back in the races in under 15 min…
Here’s the better question to ask, if you had the only copy of your photo library on a drive and were going to run it over with a car which would you rather have, this guy or a generic plastic case?

This guy custom fabs a pretty cool looking new housing his flash drive, and all you can say is “it’s not indestructible!” …
F##kin’ troll assholes. Go back to watching pr0n.
I think it’s a nice looking piece of work. Good job.

looks like a f##king waste of time to me.
btw, the keyring thing on my thumbdrive broke too.
i melted a hole off to the side and put a ring in there. works great and took 2 mins and i didnt have to write a fucking blog about it.
