Looks like a cheap plastic but works fine and doesn't crack.

The construction is better than drives from mainstream brands like Lexar and SanDisk, eschewing glossy, flimsy plastic for a high quality, matte plastic

Read speeds seemed more in line with 3.0.The back side is matte blue plastic though, easy to label with a Sharpy.

Yes it has a cheap plastic housing, which is more than adequate as my military days are over

The black plastic cracked after 1 week of moderate use.

However, on some of the drives, the plastic seems flimsy

Flimsy plastic.

plastic broke before I had a chance to use it

The action of the slider is secure enough, but the device is light and it feels a little hollow, like the plastic is not the strongest of materials

Looks and feels very cheap, but works as it should.

Either way, I was expecting a faster mb/s by reviews

Was as expected; I would recommend t others

Real capacity it works i like it just what I need it to install my app
