USB flash drive skull ring

Solid Alliance has introduced a USB flash drive in the form of a skull ring. It has a capacity of 2GB, sells for $150 from Geek Stuff 4 U, and comes in a variety of fashionable colors. Skull flash drive (Thanks, Kirsten Anderson!)

Either solve the functional issues, or bring the price down to $15 and we'll talk.

That shape won't fit in a lot of USB slots, and there's a pretty good chance you'll lose the detachable jaw/connector cover.

You'd think for $150 they could spring for a slightly higher capacity.

Wow. Thats almost as cool as my STEAMPUNK flashdrives!

Okay, those things are bitchin'. Not $150-bitchin', but fun nonetheless.

Look's kind of familiar.

I think those jaws have four rows of teeth.

Costs way too much for a hunk of molded plastic and a 2gb drive. Looks awsome though.

$150? You're kidding me, right? I recently got a 2gb drive for fucking free when I bought some software, and you want to charge $150 for some lame-ass skull? I am depressed...

Where do you guys see $150? When I went to the page it says:

Way too expensive.

Take this for instance a product which is on there:
Canon EOS 5D Mark II for a whopping $ 31,482.00 and the site lists as "in stock" (wich isn't possible), and below that it shows pre-order december (which is it ?).

Which you can actually pre order at any store for about € 2900,00

This site is a scam.

Looks like the high price is because they are custom made per order (to fit your ring size maybe?)

and metal, not plastic:

Makes it sound more reasonable, but I still wouldn't buy it for that price. Might buy this, though:

SteamKev, feel free to put your site URL on your personal profile page.

Waaay pricey but it ticks so many boxes! Want, want, want. (But cheaper.)

pikers, where's my implant?

Not too sure if I would ever pay $150 for a 2GB flash drive, but those rings are pretty awesome.

Am I the only one who thinks skulls are a little played out? These rings look like something 14-year-old goths would buy at Hot Topic.
