I’m currently shopping for a USB flash drive (aka USB flash disk; aka USB thumb drive) and I realized that aside from the storage capacity and external look and design, I realized that the cap (or absence of one) is a factor I’m considering.

I’ve had a few flash drives before and my experience with capped ones is that due to my occasional forgetfulness, I lose the caps. On the other hand, the uncapped ones usually breaks down due to wear and tear (especially for the swivel types).

Now, I need your help. I’m torn between choosing the capped USB flash drive models and the uncapped ones. Am I missing out on some critical feature here? Better yet, any recommended brands? Thanks in advance.
