Worn-In Tech Accessories

The Oriko Leather USB Armband Keeps Digital Files Close at Hand

— March 19, 2012 — Fashion
The Oriko leather USB armband is a convenient way to take important files on the go, while still staying on trend.

The thin, brown, armband sits just above the wrist and provides a practical solution to ensuring that one’s most important digital information stays at arm’s length -- literally.

A tiny flash drive is embedded into the 60-year-old leather of the strap that clips together like a bracelet when not in use and opens up to be easily inserted into a computer or laptop when required.

While losing USBs is infuriatingly easy, this handy strap may help those who misplace their flash drives on a regular basis to keep that from happening.

The Oriko leather USB armband is a functional fashion accessory that makes transporting digital files a little easier and a lot more fashion-friendly.
