MAKE Volume 17 just got shipped off to the printer this week, and one of the DIY builds that the interns had a lot of fun with was the “USB Key Makeovers” project by Brian Nadel.

There are a bunch of great USB mods on the MAKE Flickr pool too. Here are 4 fun ones, starting with the toy car by deeveepix:

A well-done lipstick case mod by Divine Harvester:
