Which models have the most rugged attachment for key fobs? My last one was a Lexar generic in a blue case from Wal-Mart. It lasted about 4 months before the plastic broke around the key ring loop. Anyone have experience with which ones hold up the best?

I've got a Sony 256 MB MicroVault.

I modified it by forming a loop out of a paperclip, sticking the tag ends of the paperclip into the hole in the cap, and bending them out. So far, so good. YMMV.

The runbber case is replacable if it ever breaks.

My Lexar JumpDrive Secure (grey case with black rubber 'grip', a bit wider than most USB drives) has been good for two years, one of which I carried it on a keychain and the other year I have had it on a neck lanyard.
