ZipZip USB Flash Drive Looks Like a Lego Piece, Glows in the Dark

Although we live in the digital age, when children would rather play video games or go online instead of playing with physical toys, Lego remains a permanent attraction, with people of all ages getting somewhat of a warm feeling in their hearts whenever they check out such a product, or at least one related in anyway to Lego, such as the ZipZip USB Flash drive we'll talk about as follows.

The ZipZip flash drive is available in three different versions, namely a clear, see-through one, that lets you take a look directly at the metallic casing inside, a classic one, with a full, colored body and a model that glows in the dark, perhaps the most interesting of them all.

All of the drives work in pretty much the same manner, opening in the middle to reveal the USB connector, half of the case acting as some sort of cap that can be removed quite easily.

Naturally, a lanyard is also included, so that users won't have to worry about misplacing their portable storage solutions at any given moment.

As mentioned before, we liked the glow in the dark version the most, not only because of its cool factor, but also because it can be found a lot easier in the dark, a feature that most serious computer users will certainly appreciate (after all, we're pretty sure that many of you spent quite a lot of time searching for that long-lost flash drive around the basement filled with computers).

The ZipZip Lego-shaped flash drives also provide plenty of storage, since they're available in 2GB to 16GB models, but, unfortunately, they're restricted to USB 2.0 data transfer rates, so don't expect these things to “fly” (at least when compared to USB 3.0).

Price-wise, these very interesting-looking storage solutions are quite interesting as well, since they sell for a maximum of 90 US dollars (for the 16GB version).
