Flexible ‘USBee’ Flash Memory Drive wins first prize

March 14, 2008 at 7:29 am

Personally I’ve gone through my fair share of flash drives which have been accidentally twisted in the wrong direction, knocked or jammed into the USB port. The ‘USBee’ is designed to reduce this by add flexibility to the desvice. Designed by Serbian designer Damjan Stankovic the “USBee” won first prize at the MS Industrial USB Competition held by the Serbian Design Community forum DizajnZona™. Ergonomically designed to bend at life’s will in any direction, this USB Flash Drive features a vented housing for cooling and a detachable protective cap that snaps onto the back end of the device when not in use.

No word yet if this will go into production.

Having just snapped off my 1 gig thumb drive at the head, and just barely being able to bend it back to a usable angle, I’d buy ALL of mine in a flexible design like this.
KUDOS.. and I hope these go into production

It’s pretty cool. I’d never heard of someone busting their usb drive… but i guess if it gets kicked or bumped wrong… like when you’re in an uber hurry and have to have it extracted STAT!
