I have an 8 GB one of these, got it at Staples downtown about 18 months ago. No idea if they still have them, though.

It's awesome.

Those are pretty slick, any problem with them being to soft and flimsy?

They are small enough that being flimsy isn't an issue; they're quite hard, too. They're also waterproof and dirt proof.

They're not fat ass proof. I left it on a chair and a friend sat on it, cracked the casing and didn't work anymore.

I just ordered this off of Amazon for $10, its pretty tiny, and barely sticks out of the usb port. Although I did have to buy a card to go with it as well.

That is super tiny. That would be perfect for the usb port in the car. Thanks for showing this.
