Re: Not happy with corsair 8gb memory stick
... I believe if you lose the cap you mail Corsair and they send out new ones to you....

If you lose your Voyager cap we will happily replace it for you.

Re: Not happy with corsair 8gb memory stick
Shame that these caps are so badly designed they will eventually be lost.
Same with the new survivor range the rubber bits are so loose to start off with. They fall off too. |

Re: Not happy with corsair 8gb memory stick
I have had my Voyagers for almost 2 years now and have not lost the caps. They aren't that hard to keep up with and they don't just fall off.
If you own a Voyager or Survivor and have a problem with the casing, we'll replace it. |

Re: Not happy with corsair 8gb memory stick
The problem is if you use the voyager/survivor on a key ring as they are designed for what happens is the rubber loosens over time and eventually falls off whether you take care or not. And everytime you remove the lid it expands and get looser. If you use the drive regularly it gets very loose very quickly.
I take a lot of care over all my IT equipment it's treated better than anyone else I know. Heck my two year old apple laptop still looks new! However every corsair flash drive I've owned has lost its lid or rubber sections. And the 50 or so I've bought for clients have nearly all had the same issue. Its all very well saying you can get a replacement, but I haven't got the time to order a new lid every week for them. I asked a while back if I could get a few spare lids, but never received any. It is a design flaw that corsair really need to look at. |
