LaCie XtremKey - The most rugged USB key ever.

An XtremKey for
Extreme Conditions


The XtremKey's memory modules are shielded inside of a 2mm casing and sealed with wear-resistant screw threads and a rubber O-ring, which makes it watertight up to 100 meters. It's easy to transport and attach to your keychain, using its metal cable ring. In addition, it's resistant to 5-meter drops, fierce heat and bitter cold-it holds up in any environment, no matter where you take it (+200°C / -50°C)*.

Looks like something from the James Bond Inventory. Perfect if you're a Bull in a china shop. The 32gb version is retailing at $188 on the SG Apple store.
