    Just on that note, the average kid never wanted to look like a nerd from what I remember (suckers). This seems like an object that will probably fly better in the 18-24 demographic, mostly with kids going to university/college.

    Also, I was wondering how secure the band is from falling off. I mean with most USB thumb drives,I could just attach them to my keychain and I was almost certain I would never lose it. With this thing, I would be always checking to make sure it was on my wrist.
