in short, my knee hit the plugged USB when i sat down, and it became: should i keep it like that (i can still plug it in with extreme caution, works) or risk the fact ill ruin it by bending it back lol <--- just another dumb option isnt it?
It looks like only the connector got out of the casing, so you should be able to GENTLY put it back in. Anyway, since you have all your data backed up you have nothing to lose (except a few $$$). If you keep using it that way I am sure you will break something else soon, for example a cable.
^i saw the 16GB one around the same price, cruzer i guess i really have nth to lose: my ma found this flash drive in a washing machine (we wash our clothes in a laundromat) so now ive to pay for a new one ><
waahhh kay i have the same oneee...but 4gb >_< a similar thing happened to my mem stick but the plastic thing around it broke and i was just left with the metal bit...it worked and everything but it was hard to pull it out each time =.="
i'll have to go with the consensus here. you can still get it to work, but you never know when it might die on you.
lol omg..same thing happened to my USB the other day..hahah i accidentally bended it hahaha...such a coincidence=]
