I have a PNY Attache 1 GB USB 2.0 drive. Got it for free at a
convention in Chicago. Anyway, the little plastic case that surrounds
and protects the memory chip got broken, but the memory chip/USB plus
still work. Anyone know of some material I could wrap the electronic
part in (glue? silly putty?) to give it some protection? Or an
enclosure that would work?

Thanks

Use a 2-part epoxy (e.g., West, System 3, or similar boatbuilders' epoxy), and
create your own mold to pour it into. System 3 has demo kits for their epoxies
that should have enough.
