I wish they'd put more time into making this product, because the concept is beautiful. Alas, the "tape" is made of mere paper. (I guess I should have looked harder at the picture before I purchased.)

Read the description CAREFULLY. This is a folded up piece of laminated paper with a USB drive wedged inside. I wouldn't have thought making an actual plastic cassette into a holder would have been that expensive. I gave it as a gift and got a look as though I had made it myself in Origami class. For $5 it would have been ok, but for $20? Ripoff.

I knew the packaging was just going to be cardboard, and I got over it, because hey... beggars can't be choosers.
But the cardboard packaging with the USB drive inside looks NOTHING like the picture. I know they said different styles, but this doesn't even remind me of the cassettes I used to have. It's in weird pastel shades with BANJO artwork on it. WHAT THE WHAT.
Since it took me over a month to actually receive this, I decided against returning it, and I'm just giving it to the recipient anyways, but I'm pretty irked. It resembles the product I ordered in almost no way whatsoever.
In addition, I expected that the drive would've been formatted with a little executable or something so that you can load it with a playlist... instead, in order to have the songs play in the order you decide on (which any mix tape giver knows is very important!), the recipient must manually load the songs into the audio program of choice in the order you list in the liner notes. That's kind of a crappy gift. "Here, I made you this thing! ...Some assembly required."
Anyways, it's a little over-priced and underwhelming, but the nostalgic in me would've been happy with it regardless... if only matched what I thought I was ordering! Instead, I get a disappointing product that isn't even what I bought.
Wait to buy something like this till you can see it in a store and feel confident.

you are basically paying for cardboard... just use an old usb and make or print your own cassette box.

It's like making mix tapes again!
While I wish there was a hard cassette-like shell to go with it, this will be fun to share digital mixes with across the miles :)

Cute novelty item
It's a bit tacky-looking (i.e., made out of a thick paper), but I enjoyed the mix tape throwback. A fun gift idea!

I got this for a friend of mine and she LOVED it. The packaging and design were both great. I just wish it came in bigger memory sizes
