Error Message: Your files are corrupt.
“What? My files? My photos? My documents for work? My whole world? Corrupt? What do you mean c-o-r-r-u-p-t? AAAARGH!!! ”
If you have experienced this error message when putting in your USD stick, you know the fear and drama that undoubtedly ensues when the thought of losing everything sets in. A common reason USB sticks fail is because the CF connection gets worn or dirty. With most USB sticks having a retractable design and coming with a key chain ring for adding to external locations, it’s no wonder they get corrupted as often as they do.
Geek Sugar found a very creative and stylish solution for protecting your USD sticks. The MoMA Store features Giorgio Fedon Mignon cases as being used to hold small items including coins, vitamins, jewelry, USB sticks and more. They come in four stylish colors, are made in Italy of aluminum and PVC with a cotton base and sell for just under $15 USD.
Rather than throwing your USB sticks into the bottom of your bag (GUILTY!), junk drawer or hanging it on your purse or key chain, this is a nice simple way to keep chic and minimize the risk of corrupted sticks.
How do you carry and protect your USB cards? Looking forward to your comments and thoughts.

Unfortunately I throw my sticks in my suitcase(purse) I throw it in the car seat. I leave them in my pockets. I leave them laying where ever. I`m missing a stick now, but I think it went down in the side of the couch.
I do take care of my glasses and have a case that looks similar to the USB cases. I like the idea of a small case, where I could put them. The price isn`t high either.
