Re: Why don't they make USB keys with write protect anymore?
They're still available. I've bought 20 of them in the past several months. Google for "RIData" (they make several kinds of flash drives) then search the results for "hidden write protect switch" and you've got what you are looking for. I bought 1-GB units but they are also available in larger sizes... -- Jim Kyle

Yep. I bought two 8GB RiData thumb drives with a write protect switch from Newegg last month. Very handy, though RiData is definitely not Apple when it comes to design.
