I had purchased a USB memory stick, Patriot XT 32G.
Lost the cap.
Do you sell cap only ?
Where can I get one ?
Thank you

Hi Walter,
I’m sorry that you lost your cap. You can find caps on ebay that are a generic fit for any USB connector. –> Flash Drive Caps
If this would look good on your Patriot flash drive is another question. If an actual replacement cap is important to you, you could try contacting the customer service on the Patriot website. Maybe they will send you one, especially in case of a still valid warranty.
Alternatively for the future, you could purchase Flash Drives with a retractable USB Connector.

Looks like reasonable USB price for its quality

I like the patriot one, it looks sweet and 32GB is just the right size, I can’t believe how much cheaper these are getting recently.

Nice designs. Some of them are a common look though.
