cap lanyard for flash voyager

[bobjim]

I bought a number of these Flash Voyagers for the office. I am pleased with them so far... except the little rubber caps tend to become loose after a while, and may slip off and get lost, particularly if you keep your flash drive on a keyring, as I do.

 

Corsair should have provided something to fasten the cap for this otherwise nice product. However, if you have a few minutes, it is possible to fashion your own lanyard.

 

Materials/Tools

 

1. Paper clip ( not too big )

2. Rubber hair tie

3. Some tools ( needle nose pliers, wire cutter )

 

Procedure

 

1. Pierce the rubber cap with the paper clip and form it into a loop. This is the hardest part, as it is difficult to perfectly align the piercing. You probably want to do this with the cap on the flash drive.

 

2. Tie the loop to the drive with the rubber band.

 

Here are some pictures.
