Here's a 8 gig drive that looks like it would fit your bill and is simmilar to 
the pny that i use.

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8033045

and here is my 2 gig drive that i use. these have covers that are attached and 
piviot in the middle. i use the necklace that came with mine, but it has a 
key ring slot on it also.

the good thing is that being avail from wal-mart you know that its readily 
avail for pickup "today" if you really wanted it that badly.
