Small but tough.......2006-09-27

I bought mine about a year ago. Everything works fine, and the drive takes up next to no space in my pocket. So little in fact, that I accidentally ran it through the washer and dryer one time. To my surprise, the drive emerged intact and is still running great!

Okay at first..........2006-09-20

The Cruiser Micro 1.0 Gb comes with three colored(mine were pink, blue and clear) sleeves that act as a cap for the device itself. Depending on its current use, they slide on and off the flash drive.
...but they slide a bit too easily.

So when you're all out of sleeve, your poor flash drive has nothing to protect it from the harmful elements of your book bag or the static on your sweater when you wear it around your neck.

BUT, this flash drive never had a chance to lose all three sleeves. It died randomly when I was trying to save a programming project on it. It started off saving like it usually does, but this this time it took a ridiculous long time for a file that was under 2 Mb. But I let it save anyways without disturbance. After about 5 minutes, it finished, or at least, the save window closed. I opened up Windows Explorer but was unable to access my hard drive. The drive never worked again. Please note that while the drive was connected to my PC it wasn't smacked, touched or jarred as my tower is several feet away from all physical motion.

On the bright side while it was still working, I enjoyed all that external harddrive space. And the bright LED that lit up was particularly useful when figuring out if data was still being sent from the computer. I didn't care for the programs that came with it, but it had some sort data encrypter if anyone is interested.
All in all, I think I got what I paid for.

It's not portable........2006-07-29

If it were, it would have been designed with a sleeve that didn't fall off in your pocket, when you don't notice it, etc. It comes with three sleeves (is this an admission of a design flaw?), and in less than 3 months, I've lost all three.

It's no longer a portable keychain usb drive, if it's unprotected in your pocket. If you plan on using this as a daily workhorse, in and out of your pocket, you'll soon lose the caps and sleeves.

This is a hardy little flash drive. I've owned it for about 1 year and it helped me while I finished school. It has also become an invaluable work resource on the road. It's been through the laundry twice and come out with flying colors.

Pros:
1. Large file capacity makes it easy to transfer data files, pictures, and music files with ease.

2. Hardy body style (metal with rubber sleeve, much better than old plastic body style)

3. Small size makes caring it around a breeze

4. Slim design does not block other USB ports - this is one of my favorite features and the reason I own 2 San Disk flash drives.

Con's:
1. While rubber sleeve is nice, it can slide off easily, not sure I would have made this a removable feature

2. Not easy to snap cap on back of unit. I really like a feature that keeps me from losing the cap, old San Disk allowed for this.

3.I didn't end up using the locking software. It was a bit confusing, so I simply deleted it from the flash drive.

Overall:
Good product, slim and easy to carry around. Worth looking at if you are searching for a good flash drive at a reasonable price. Make sure you do your research to find one that best fits your needs. I think San Disk has some newer models that I would consider next time I buy, if I can ever manage to break it...

great product. file transfers from my computer are a snap, and the unit is very responsive. absolutely no complaints whatsoever. a true lifesaver for quick backups of your most critical files (which for 1GB, means a lot for me).

Not a bad drive..Small size is handy for a keychain........2007-09-14

I bought this as a gift for a friend. She keeps it on her keychain and uses it both at work and at home transporting files back and forth. She finds it fast and loves the small size.

I bought myself the newer version, which is larger and does not have a cap, but slides(a nice feature). Mine has more memory, but is loaded up with software. I got rid of most of it. It has a new U3 technology that duplicates your entire hard drive so that you can see it on any other computer. It was great for transfering all of my files from one computer to another in a very fast manner, but it takes up most of the storage space on the flash drive and mine is 1 gig (my friends is 516mg).

I just bought a Lexar Mercury 2 gig, which does not contain U3 software and that will now be my main flash drive. It is roomy, solid and has an external meter which tells you how much memory you have, even when not plugged into a computer. I think Lexar makes a better product than Sandisk. I have 2 older, smaller Lexar drives and have never had a problem. Sandisk is probably okay, but I think I am a Lexar fan. My first Flash drive was a PNY and that was a total piece of junk that broke in no time at all.

Don't get me wrong. Sandisk is a decent Flash Drive, but I think Lexar makes a sturdier product and I don't need anymore U3. Once was enough. The Sandisk in the review does not have U3, but I don't know how much longer that style will be available, so you may have to get a U3 model if you buy a Sandisk.

key chain end breaks easily.......2007-06-21

I bought this product 2 months ago. The memory drive worked fine, however, the loop at the end of the flash drive broke very easily. I would choose something sturdier next time.

Hardy little bugger.......2007-06-01

Tiny, lightweght, fast, and now super clean thanks to a trip to the laundromat. The logo washed off, but the files are all there.

Sandisk cruzer 1 gb.......2007-05-27

This is a great product on XP. I had one and gave it to my grandson. It was the U3 version. This version with secure software is also great, have not tested it yet on Win98SE. Seems to be some problem with Debian Linux - not immediately recognized. Need to research that.

The serial number on this flash drive is printed on the outside of it and rubs off easily, which can be a real problem if you have a warranty issue. Mine fried a year into the two year warranty and if it had not been for a slick USB diagnostics utility from Microsoft (UVCView) I would not have been able to retrieve the serial number to get warranty service. In the end Sandisk was great though and they replaced the dead stick with a new one. Recommended - just remember to write down your s/n!

mini shield.......2005-09-05

this cover works great for protecting the screen on an ipod mini and also is easy to put on and take off of the ipod. only thing that i do not like about it is that you have to take it off in order to dock the ipod.

It's okay........2005-08-04

Had it for few days. Was planning to return it because the case did not cover the back, but then i realized it was intended for use with the belt clip. With the belt clip in place it looks really good. But if you don't plan on using the belt clip, the case leaves the back unprotected.

Put most skins to shame........2005-07-04

This one of the best skins for ipods on the market. It makes the Dlo jam jacket and others look like crap. This skin has one problem but you can easily fix it. Just look at the pros and cons.

PROS.
Ths case is not sticky and dosn't collect dirt as easy unlike the dlo. It also dosn't bond to the ipod either.

The skin is not too soft but gives the best protection you can get.

It dosn't mess up your ipod unlike some other skins like the Dlo jam jacket!

The skin has tiny vents in the back but most skins have that but it's useful when it's hot.

Con

It has no screen protector, but that's easy to fix. You just cut out some hard vynyl like plastic and put under the skin where the screen is.

So there you have it. One of the best skins on the market. It's second to the Iskin ipod skins.
