It is undeniable that people constantly want their various pieces of technology to be more compact for convenient portability, but there is a point when things can get a bit too small; the Brick USB Stick addresses the latter issue. Instead of putting a stopper on such decreases in size in order to avoid future complications like losing devices, the Brick USB Stick shows that a clever design will negate such concerns.
Designed by Hongshik Kim and Se-eun Kim, the Brick USB Stick is a USB on one end and an ear cap on the other. That way when it isn't being used to obtain or save data, it can be safely stored on the iPhone until it is needed again.
