unlock your data: skeleton key usb drives


I’m packing up and heading west to Salt Lake City today for the Altitude Design Summit. These days, it’s harder to make sure I pack all my tech accessories than it is to pick out what I’m going to wear. From cameras, phones and laptops to dongles (such a terrible name), adaptors and chargers, I’m always scared I’ll leave something. Because my laptop doesn’t want to play well with projectors, I often store my presentations on USB drives, just in case I have to connect to a PC. I’ve got a drawer-full of ugly ones, so it would be fun to add a few cute ones to my collection. And I’ve found the perfect one to add to my growing USB wishlist: a skeleton key USB drive. Each of these colorful drives holds 2GB of memory and measures only three-inches long. Perfect for dropping in your purse on the way to work or just storing inside your laptop bag. You can pick up a pink, white or black drive right here at Fred Flare for $58. Happy data-storing! xo, grace

Nice concept, but a little too expensive at 58 USD isn’t it?

these are amazing! here in italy all of our regular keys look like that because the doors are ancient, but this would be so hilarious to have!

wow! these are fabulous. would look so much better on my keyring than that boring old USB stick i have now.

Wow Grace! Thank you so much for the shout out! The whole FF office uses these lil’ keys and they always make us smile… even when we’re doing work! :)

Honestly, while these are cute, I try to optimize for size with USB keys. You can get some really tiny and subtle ones that fit conveniently on your keychain and have at least double the capacity for less than half the size.

Great idea. Wish the USB drives had more capacity and that there were more colors. Perhaps in the future?

I’ve been looking for something like this FOREVER… too bad I can’t justify spending so much on only 2GB. Le sigh.
