Even the USB drives need their share of rugged make and that is what Corsair has in mind. With sensitive data normally stored in them, toughening them up through a super-strong aluminum casing is a good idea. And if you want one that can really withstand the extreme conditions, the 64GB Flash Survivor USB drive from Corsair should be something worth having. The drive is comes with a molded, shock-dampening collar and EPDM seal, which provides water-resistance to a depth of 200 meters.

This drive has already been tested through the worst scenarios which include being run over, dropped, baked and boiled. The Corsair 64GB Flash Survivor USB drive is now available through Corsair authorized dealers which may want to consider coming out with larger storage drives considering the files people put in these portable solutions today.

While I don’t know why anyone would buy it, with a little creativity and resourcefulness you can actually make one of these cardboard-based cases for iPhones or the iPod Touch yourself. The idea is modest but if you really want to be conservative as far as buying new cases, you may as well look for old cardboards in your home (something is bound to be available and useful there) and shape them to effectively take shape and protect your phone.

This cardboard casing is being sold for $0.99 or 10 for $8 over at Case-mate to supposedly aid iPhone owners during the recession. But if you can do it yourself with the use of a cutter and some glue, why bother buying it? Wouldn’t that cost less?
