Ever since I saw the Lacie iamakey USB flash drive on Engadget I knew I had to have it so once they were available on Amazon I ordered the 4GB version. I just got the USB key awhile ago from Aramex and its as good as I expected it to be. The advantage of having the flash drive shaped like a key is obvious, I will carry it around with my keys. Its not bulky so it doesn’t bulge in my pocket and there is very little chance it will break off from my key chain like my previous drive did. Price wise the 4GB costs around KD7.5 while the 8GB costs around KD12.5.

Crafty.. =P
Oh, and FIRST!
Eww ugly. Sorry mark but you made the WRONG CHOICE!!!!!
its a key, there is nothing ugly abou tit.
sadly there is a 1-3 months wait till stock arrives at amazon for the 8gb version
The only thing I see is the coolness factor. All USB sticks have a keyhole as far as I know.
At least, that’s how I’ve been carrying my 8GB kingston stick for more than 2 years.
Cajie: Yeah my previous usb stick had a keyhole, but most usb sticks are bulky and mine also ended up getting disconnected from my key chain. The advantage here is that its a lot more secure to the keychain then majority of usb sticks plus its pretty slim so when its in your pocket its just another key on the keychain u don’t feel it.
I like the ones shaped like a credit card.

I am a Mum.
it does look good….however, i don’t think it is a good idea to attach your keys with the flash drive ‘coz of the possibility of forgetting your keys on your pc…furthermore,don’t wanna end up losing your flash drive along with your keys.
well thats the beauty of it. If u do forget your keys connected to you pc you will notice the keys missing and go back for them, if you forget your usb stick to a pc you won’t remember it.
Is the ends metallic too ?? Like a real key ??
Would it tend to break off ?
the key is more important to me than the usb…. going back to the pc to get the key is a hassle (esp in this kind of weather)…car keys shouldn’t be taken out of the pocket ‘coz there is a chance that you either forget or lose it.
i like the key design, it’s so simple…
but here’s a cool one:

The cutest USB flash I ever seen, I wanted to have one months ago when I found it but I couldn’t find a way to buy them…They weren’t available any where online including their LaCie.com online shop…So I decided to contact them and they referred me to their HQ in the UAE.
I did contact the UAE branch they sent me two phone numbers of their suppliers in Kuwait…
I did call the first number and it was disconnected…
I called the second, he answered and asked me where did I get his number from!
I want it really bad to the point I got my self into all that crap but I decided not to get it from those silly guys in Kuwait.
