    I'm looking at buying a 2.5" USB enclosure that's designed to survive drops and generally being tossed around. I found this one on Amazon. Does anyone have experience with this or any other similar enclosure?

    That does look nice and would complement my M11x very well, but the price + shipping to the US puts it more than the Acomdata unit I linked to in my first post.

    Something you may want to consider to make a enclosure more durable would be a case, something that absorbs impact like Zeroshock cases do.

    Just look around on Ebay.com you'll probably find better ones than that OMATA or at least the exact same one in your location.
