Abstract
A USB device includes a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), a metal shell secured to a front of the PCBA, a plastic frame secured to a rear of the PCBA, and a rubber case including a case body covering the plastic frame case such that a plug shell connector extends from the second front end opening. A rubber cap is removably mounted over the plug shell connector to entirely enclose the USB device when not in use. The rubber case is molded to include a cosmetic feature, such as a soccer ball, a sports team logo, or a company logo.
