Cryptex USB Flash Drive | Unique Password Protected Flash Drive | Safely Store Up To 64gb | brass Coloured Portable Flash Drive | Inspired By Leonardo Da Vincis Sketches

This is a lovely bit of kit, although it has some bad points.It's designed well, has a good solid weight to it. You can tell it's metal through and through.Aesthetically, it's steampunk, but not outlandishly so, it's tastefully done; there are no friviolous cogs or wheels or little puffs of steam. It does not feel dated or outclassed by other USB sticks. Rather, it feels like a perfect mixture of modern technology with a design that has a sense of character about it.There are, however, two weaknesses: firstly, the USB stick is attached to the belt; which means you have to undress every time you want to use it. It really should be the other way around with the Cryptex itself attached to the belt.Secondly, the stick is small and uses USB 2. This isn't going to be a massive problem, but for the price paid a larger storage and/or more modern interface should be part of it.Nonetheless, this adds a lot of character to technology that is otherwise plain and boring.

I bought the 64gb brass version without doing any research stupidly, inside the usb port there is a micro sd card wich can be replaced, with anothre if you are to buy this product i suggest getting the 16 gb and replacing it with a self bought higher memory micro sd.Product cost=£5564gb Micro SD = £8.99 (Sandisk one )£55-£8.99 =£46.01Cheapest option (16) = £35£35 + £8.99= £43.90Why the extra cost? the Micro SD has no brand name and is made in TaiwanAll in i enjoy the product, no signs of the screws coming loose yet but i am only a few days in so far with repeated use. Looks amazing in person the product pictures dont give it justice, in the pictures it looks cheaply sprayed to look brass but its not.

Fantastically geeky type of device.This device has 100000 possible combinations. Plus, if someone of slightly lower intelligence steals it, will probably multiply that by four because there are four sides that the numbers can be entered. But the code can only be entered on one of the four sides.This was a complete spur of the moment buy and I am delighted with it.And in keeping with Leonardo's tendency, hide the combination so it is hidden in full view. But not attached to the device itself.One of the ends of the device has a small sticker with the combination. It is quite hard to see but keep a note of it or stick it on something like a bus pass.Unlike the original design, you wont break a small glass tube filled with acid that will destroy the contents if the wrong combination is entered.Still, should you loose your combination it will only take you as long as it takes to enter the 100000 possible combinations.DON'T LOOSE THE COMBINATION.

Very nice well presented gift. The only problem is that the instruction are rather vague and should have pointed out that the code numbers have to be aligned with the notches in one of the segments. However it’s nicely designed, sturdy, looks the part and does the job. Pity it doesn’t appear to be possible to change the combination code from that supplied.

Brilliant piece of kit. Came in very stylish packaging also, i only bought it as a back up and because of my masonic interests. The only reason for the 4 stars is that all other flash drives i have used have a light(led) to indicate they are in operation. This doesn't.Very happy with it none the less.I would recommend this product

Worked first time then packed up a total let down.

It works exactly as it is meant to, the only reason it does not get 5 stars is that the USB key itself is rather tight fitting inside most USB sockets. I don't know if that is a universal problem or unique to my own.

Its a great looking piece, its great size and all the only thing have to complain about is physical lock system is crackable (Took me mate 2 minutes before he opened it where i just handed it to him with no words)
