We gladly accepted– these USB drives are brilliant, or as Markus himself says “a Timeless, noble design, carefully selected exquisite woods, hand-crafted unique pieces.” We’re giving away four Thalbach Wooden USB drives to four GearCrave readers.

Attus Apparel Giveaway Winners Announced!

May 5th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Last Monday, we launched a giveaway with AttusApparel.com, a designer of classic polo shirts with a sarcastic twist.  That familiar little polo horse is gone, replaced with strippers on poles, middle fingers, 40 ouncers and various rock and roll imagery.  GearCrave readers loved these polos, and our friends at Attus Apparel are giving five free polos to GearCrave readers who got involved.  Congratulations are due to Lawrence, Kevin, Joseph, Dug and Carlos, the five of you have won a free Attus Apparel polo.  For those who didn’t win this one, GearCrave has more giveaways to come.  If you, like us, love these polos anyway, head on over to AttusApparel and pick up one of your own.  It’ll feel great to wear these around your boss and he’ll never know you’re flipping him off the whole time…

Buy: $54

Thalbach Hand-Crafted Wooden USB Drives

May 5th, 2008 · 5 Comments

thalbach wooden usb drives

The USB flash drive has taken mobile media storage in a surprising direction. Where the floppies, CDs and tape drives of yesteryear were all about business, the USB flash drive has become an art form in and of itself. USB flash drives have been integrated into jewelry, into action figures, even into little puppies that hump your laptop when plugged in. While the latter shows how absurd this art has become, we’d like to share just how sexy and stylish USB flash drives can be. A small company based in Germany, Thalbach Design Manufaktur, sells hand-crafted, hand-engraved wooden USB drives with up to 4GB of storage. Using a variety of woods and polishes, Thalbach provides a signature spin on your personal data storage.

Continue reading for an in-depth look at these unique USB drives– and stick around GearCravers, we’ll be giving away 4 free USB drives from our friends at Thalbach in a post later on today.
