12GB Monstor Drive looks like Zippo

12GB Monstor Drive looks like Zippo
Go metal with the Monstor Drive from US Modular. This thumbdrive is totally different from the rest of its counterparts as it looks pretty much the part of a Zippo lighter instead. Flipping the cover open will reveal a USB connector, where you can then plug it into any available USB port and start transferring data. The Monstor Drive comes with a whooping 12GB of storage space and retails for $129, which is relatively cheap considering the amount of memory you get. The Monstor Drive comes in a stainless steel case, is shock resistant, and offers blazing fast data transfer speeds via USB 2.0. Shipping is expected to begin next month.

I have been using mine for over a year no problem until today. Will not reconize the drive. I had over 9G of Digital family photos on it.

Those pricks advertise low customer service staff due to lack of need. But they won't call you back on the problem with computer not recognizing the 12gb monstor. I smell class action.

Drive worked fine first 2 weeks. Stopped working with no error message, only shows "new hardware detected" but no drive letter assigned. Lost all hours and hours of work saved on it.

I love the idea of this drive, but my computer won't recognize it. My computer says "new hardware found. usb storage" but it won't come up under "my computer". any ideas?
