Unlock the secrets to your computer with the byAMT Cle USB. Absolutely adorable, it is a flash drive shaped like an old-fashioned key.

As a 3D printed creation, the byAMT Cle USB would definitely make a great gift for a computer addict like myself (hint hint, nudge nudge). With 2GB of memory, the byAMT Cle USB is priced at $50. That might seem a little steep at first, but with its cute design and great packaging, I'm sure a lot of people will be lining up to get this one. A 4GB version will soon be available.
