The world's lightest, thinnest and only water-resistant USB flash drive. The Super Stick is convenient enough for consumers to carry anywhere, and its trendy design makes it a great mobile phone strap accessory, necklace or keychain. It can even be stored in a wallet. The Super Stick is so small that it measures and weights about the size of a paper clip. It works with USB 2.0, allowing for the high-speed transfer of documents and data in your day-to-day work. The Super Stick is made to last using a patented packaging technology that is stronger than plastic or aluminum casing. In fact there is no casing; it is built directly into the sealed substrate making it resistant to water, heat and shock, virtually indestructible. Plus no snap-on cap is needed. Hate those bulky flash drives that end up losing or forgetting. Finally an USB flash drive that you can hold onto with no hassle. Revolutionary size and an amazing price make the Super Stick the ultimate buy for a USB flash drive.

Summary: Yes, it's very brittle
Comment: I should have read more reviews before I bought this, because after a few weeks on my keychain, the end broke off cleanly. The unit still works, so I'm going to attempt to superglue it on, but I'm disappointed.
For something that claims to be washer and dryer "safe", it's very fragile. The hole for the keychain ring should extend through the PCB, not the soft white plastic cover. I'm glad I didn't lose my data, but I'm not sure I'll trust this with anything important from here on.

Summary: Kingstick-Wow!
Comment: My friends are amazed to see a memory stick as small as this! So far the product says what it does and does what it says. It's early days yet but I am confident that I will still be pleased at the end.

Summary: READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY
Comment: This is my first time reviewing a product on amazon. I was swayed by the sexy web copy (World's smallest flash drive....virtually indestructible"). I made the purchase shortly before embarking on my year abroad in Malaysia (making returns impossible....i'm stick with this piece of crap).
My complaints are as follows:
It is incredibly slow....we're not taking "wow this is taking longer than expect.." we're talking "omg....i could transfer information faster with messenger pigeons and smoke signals." It took about 45 minutes to transfer 30 documents from on PC to my MacBook Pro (both Intel both dual core both less than 1 year old).
It is incredibly small BUT....you cannot let the device touch any metal (coins, keys, etc). It says so in the packaging...but not in the product description online. Because I wanted this at the end of my keychain, I needed to find some type of case. Fortunately, the product came with a case....but there are several problems:
1. The moment I use a case, this super small INDESTRUCIBLE flash drive becomes the same size as all the other flash drives. If it is truly indestructible, why does it need a case at all. That's just misleading. By reading the product description online, I was led to believe that I could take this anywhere with no protection....even in the rain. But that's simply not true. You MUST keep this in a case if you keep this device in your pocket (as most people do).
2. The case they provide is awful. It is a pink Eskimo coat....no joke. The actual coat they provide is truly a coat...made of rubber. It is about 3 cm wide and 5 cms long...making it much larger than most other USB drives. That is to say, if you use the protective jacket that they provide, the world's smallest drive becomes the world's largest drive. (maybe I should use a different protector then?....I can't......no other jacket will fit since this is the world's smallest usb drive.....i basically have to use their jacket.
3. Why not pick a neutral color (black, brown, blue, red, grey....even purple)? I'm confident in masculinity, but seriously. The jacket looks like a hello kitty doodad. I can't take this to my MBA classes or business meetings? It's too big and too pink. If I were a 13 Japanese female middle school student in Tokyo, I'm sure this would be all the rage. But I'm a 30 year old black man living in Malaysia who sold off his GI Joes and He-Man action figures back in 1984.
4. Did I mention it was slow?
Like a good consumer, I contacted customer support. They gave me a whole song and dance and even offered to exchange the product if I sent in an email....well, the sheer hassle of repackaging, shipping from Malaysia (out of pocket) and then waiting for 2-6 weeks was a little silly. I needed a new flash drive now for school....but I at least wanted my money back. I wrote them an email (CCing all the contacts I had come across during my 45 minutes while on the phone....yes 45 minutes to complain about a $26 item...I also CC'd the sales department at Kingmax. Still waiting to hear back from them....this was 2 weeks ago. No response...not even a generic automatic "We've received your email and will get back to you.
My advice.....don't buy this one.
If the size appeals to you...understand that you MUST use a protector...making the size the same or bigger than other drives on the market.....and you will end up with a oversized pink jacket (which is the only jacket that will fix since this is the smallest USB drive in the world.
If durability is important to you, then understand that you MUST use a protector....this piece of plastic cannot touch metal...you must use a jacket....and you must use the jacket they provide.
If speed is important to you.....don't buy this product. It is slow....not slower than most....slower than all. Maybe mine was defective. It worked but it took almost an hour to do tasks that should have zipped by in seconds or minutes.
If customer service is important to you, don't bother. I am the ghost of XMAS future warning you now.
There are so so so many flash drives. They keep getting smaller and faster. Stick with standby brand names if you can. You won't be wasting a whole lot of money if you go with this (I bought the 8 gig), but why watse money at all? $26 is still $26. Go with a trusted name.
Hope this info was helpful.

Summary: This Is AWESOME!!
Comment: I love this it is So small and easy to use and i have had no problems with it i have had it a good half a year
Customer Rating:
Summary: Super practical
Comment: This was attached to my keychain for nearly 4 months, and was very useful. It's size makes it trivial to carry around. However, it is not washer/dryer safe as listed in the description. Mine eventually came off in my pocket and was later found in the dryer -- no longer working. Am I upset? No way! It was only $6! I'm just ordering another one, which will be better secured this time around.
The drive has a solid feel and was not damaged by the keys on my keychain. Reading files off of it was quite fast, and putting files on was fast enough. I have not hesitated a moment to order another, except to consider getting one of the larger ones.
