Packaging:

The Cruzer Blade comes packaged as shown below. Instead of plastic clamshell that would probably end up in a landfill, SanDisk ships the drive in an eco-friendly, cardboard envelope.

Physical Features:

The Cruzer Blade is currently the smallest flash drive in SanDisk's lineup. Measuring 41.5mm long, 17.6mm wide and 7.4mm thick, its about the size of a standard size paper clip and weighs approximately the same as a penny. At this size, the Cruzer Blade is hardly noticeable when placed in a pocket or on a keychain.

The body and USB connector are constructed out of lightweight, red and black plastic. I was a bit concerned that without a cap, the plastic connector would become damaged. However, it has stood up pretty well to every day use.

The Cruzer Blade does not have an LED indicator. However, there is a hole on the end so that it can be attached to your key ring.
