I'm looking for feeback or other ideas.
Here's the story - I have a Transcend 4GB thumb drive. It works great, it's fast, but the case fell apart recently and the keyring is plastic. What a great way to lose it. Most thumb drives suffer from cheap case disease. the other thing is that the case is more than 50% wasted space. The functional internals are tiny (see pics below). It has a blue activity LED on the other side.
So... I'm thinking of encasing this in some sort of clear epoxy and attach a metal ring in the epoxy for a keychain. Probably look pretty cool and be durable.
Question: would epoxy would cause problems like heat, conductivity, reacting with the PCB or something else? Or perhaps someone has a better idea?
Here's the suck case:
And the guts:
