I have yesterday bought this USB stick at Saturn, however, the USB 3.0 version. He cost 10.99. With the power of the sticks I am satisfied so far, for my purposes (mainly the transfer of text and image documents) is the performance perfectly adequate, Other I have therefore not yet been tested. Visually, the stick is quite appealing, even if the "CE" and "Please do not dispose of in household garbage" print on the back a bit annoying. Very pleasant I find that the stick has no LED, which can be annoying at other sticks before when reflect the luminous dots on the screen in the dark. On the stick itself only a PDF file is in the delivery of pre-installed and not, as with other manufacturers, any bloatware. All in all, I am using the stick (and the price) completely zufieden. Only the solution with the cover, which can be plugged onto the stick back, is probably not entirely thought out, in any case, you can either place the cover or the flash drive to a key ring or similar fix, but not both simultaneously.
--------------- Now after 6 months I have to revise my positive review from September 2013. The USB stick today presented spontaneously his service and is no longer recognized by several tested computers. This must not happen really, especially since I have dealt never careless with the stick, most of the time he was in the desk drawer. So my first Philips USB flash drive will probably remain my last.
