1.0 out of 5 stars VERY POOR QUALITY, May 10, 2006

We purchased 21 of these. 20 out of the lot are defective. The Lightning "Jump Drives" have a rubber/plastic molding that holds the front and back of the jump drive together. The cap is built the same way. Upon removing the drives from the package, and removing the caps, most of them cracked and parts of the plastic fell off. We contacted Lexar (brush up on your Indian language skills before calling) and did not get anywhere with them..... I would NOT recommend buying from Lexar. We returned the products to PC Mall, and exchanged them for SanDisk Cruzer Titaniums. MUCH BETTER!

OK, so I have only used the thing like 3 times, but it's already very impressive! BUT being a flash pen, I will have to update my review in a couple months... ANYWAY, first reactions:
- The steel-feel case is great! I love the feel and weight of it, it even comes with a felt cloth so you can polsih it! You quickly realize that there's plastic insides, but its well-hidden. The cap does come off... you could loose it, however because of the steel casing it's larger and more visible, making it harder to loose.
- Transfer speeds are fast! I dont think it's a speed-demon but it's certainly one of the fastest USB Flash Drives out there for 50 bucks! You
- There's included software to protect your documents but I dont know if it's any good and I probably will never use it.

CON: Made in China. :)

So far I am not regretting this purchase, and even if it lasts me just 1 1/2 years, i'll be happy at $50!

First of all, the cap is very tight on there. Hard to pull off, which actually could be a good thing if you are worried about losing your cap. I do like it that the key ring loop is at the USB end instead of the cap end. I gave this item 3 stars because it seems like it works well, but what I don't like about it is that it is wide, so when I have it plugged in, I can't use the other USB port next to it. Not very practical!
