Thankfully they’ve come down in price and I recently got a Patriot 8GB one from NewEgg.com. But it’s rather plain compared to these wooden USB drives handcrafted in Germany by Thalbach Design.

Main features:

  • each one is carefully handcrafted in Germany by Thalbach Design
  • individual wishes on veneers used or style of aluminum inlay are possible
  • attentions to details: e.g. the veining of the veneer goes all the way through the stick (china sticks don’t do – normally there the lid is made from a totally different piece of wood and just grabbed out of the big box when finally plugging the sticks together)
  • these sticks can’t be bought from an online store since the producers believe that an exclusive product needs an exclusive customer service: they prefer to talk to the customers in order to build for them exactly what they imagine.

Gadgets-Club.com is currently offering an exclusive USB drive as a prize. More information here. Four winners will be chosen for the USB drives in Walnut Root Wood, Zebrano, Maple and Palisander.

The contest ends on 20 December 2008.

On 24 December the winners will be announced here.
