I made these a while back, and I am not entirely sure why I didn't post anything about them on here.

Basically I had a few USB sticks that the casing broke off of and were quite non-functional.

So I implanted the innerds of them in to these new housings, which I love.
I use them on a daily basis.

Those are pretty awesome.
Next is to make the pokemon one look like a regular game, good place to stash the porn and launch codes.

The gameboy usb is one of the coolest thing I've ever seen. I must now break my old sticks on purpose and Macgyver them up.

I have found that the Lego one is far more practical for daily use.
Fits in my pocket very easily, and it fits around other USB devices that I have plugged in.
The gameboy cartridge is a bit bulky for that.

Also, I build the Lego one specifically to be compatible with this wall mounted Lego key/stuff basin I installed in my room.
The Lego USB stick clicks to the bottom just like and Lego should.

I love my shelf/bowl.

I also love that knife, its super duper lightweight and sturdy as hell.

ipods are surprisingly difficult to dismantle.
Not sure how easily you could rig USB components in to one.
