Exclusive deal, eigh?
I have a very nice SanDisk Cruzer Titanium U3 stick that is, I am pretty sure, clad in a similar substance. Jolly nice it is, too but I wish I'd gone for the 16G one.
Can't get 'em any more, it seems. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sandisk-8GB-Ultra-Cruzer-Titanium/dp/B0015UQ5LC
I guess my stick predates the Apple deal.
