It has no cap at the USB end, doesnt that risk dust and water getting it and malfunction ??

I was concerned about that too.. but so far, I've had no problem with dust getting in it. I didn't really think of water much because I have it in my keyring which ends up staying in my purse most of the time. The nice practical design is really what I like. Hope you find this helpful.

I wouldn't worry about it. I have washed a similar Silicon Power drive twice in the laundry with no damage.

I would strongly suggest not to operate any electronic device that was exposed to water until you are 100% sure that it is completely dry. A cap wouldn't make much of a difference on those circumstances. As for the dust,that is something to consider if you will carry it in a purse or similar.

It is water resistant. And yes dust can get it, but I have not had any issues. This thing is very durable. I have it on my keys and have dropped them in dirt and even in a puddle the other day. Blew in it, let it dry out before I stuck it in the computer, and it worked fine.

Has no cap in the USB end, do not know if water gets into it would it ruin it, I do not know. Always keep back-up files on another disk. Write the company about it and ask them? I think it is the best USB out there I have used because it makes it so easy to pull out of the computer! I think all water hurts electronics my guessing you need the company's opinion there. Think I read it is an zinc alloy? Do love it and had no problems at all! Kim

I have a special attachment on my key ring where I am able to tuck in the drive. Understand your concern about exposure to dust and moisture. So far, so good.

Water, dust, and life always poses a risk for portable electronics. However, over the last 3 months (post purchase) I have traveled to CHina, Europe and Sri Lanka with this little buddy and had no issues. Because the end does not retract the connections stay pretty well protected. Impervious? Doubtful. Rugged? for sure. Great value and performance. Snap it on a carabiner in your backpack and hit the road.

There is no cap. There is a plastic attachment on the tip that gets lost VERY easily. I would not recommend this product.

Just push the cap onto the tip. That's it. Are you sure you didn't break the tip?

Mine came with a cap, as well, but I received it several months ago and it didn't come straight from Amazon.

No, it is not really a cap per se. But it unscrews from the middle, and the drawing part flips and screws back in to the handle part, so the tip is protected. So no cap, just a feature that functions like one

No, there is no cap for the nozzle. I carried the bottle in a side pouch of my book sack. Also, a good deal of effort is required to draw water from the bottle. Even gravity flow is slow.

No there is no cap. The air should not do that. You may need to return it and have them send you a new one. Good Luck.

Yes, it has slot it in where you can pull a string (like ones used in a digital camera) through it or get a small ring through it. I pulled a string through mine and now I can hook it on my key chain. Also, the little slot for it is on the usb side, not on the cap. So if the cap fell off you would still have the usb.

USB visible in the middle of the box, it is very too small to find out, but you can find it, just check it carefully

The cap "clicks" on to cover the writing nib, but slides on securely with no "click" when stored on the other end during writing. It's not going to fall off if that's the concern.

Make sure you take the time to unscrew the cap to make sure there is no water inside of it

There are caps on both ends of the Card reader. One covers the USB connector and the other covers the SD/Micro SD card. On the SD Card end, on the inside there is a place to insert your SD card and a separate location to insert a Micro SD Card. I didn't know that when I initially bought the reader! Hope that helped!!

yeah. it happens. the usb is very cheaply made and tends to overheat. i would only personally recommend this product for temporary use.

I haven't had any trouble with mine, just have to make sure it is secure to your cap....

For me personally, I am more concerned about the drive and its contents then the cap. You can not change the end its on. I have a short quick disconnect on the drive so I've had no concern. I do love it! Very tough!

Hello Rick. I think you don't have problem becuase I installed the caps and I hadn't got any problem. Hope my answer help you. Best regards, Germán

No, the cap is not necessary. I snorkel without the cap and the device works great... only issue is that the plugs tend to irritate the ears after awhile but I think that's the price you pay for the solid water-tight seal.
