    I haven’t had a chance to use it yet because Best Buy geek squad diagnosed my laptop as needing a new battery. I bought one and brought it to you and paid $60 to put it in. then you informed me it wasn’t the battery I needed but a motherboard. I called for a refund but was told I had to make a 45 minute drive to talk to the geek squad to see what they decide. I already made 4 trips to Peoria.

    I keep this on my keychain, it constantly extends and I find myself pushing it back in. SanDisk makes great products in terms of chips, but this just doesn't have enough stick to the extension mechanism to make me feel confident that it won't get damaged.
