It’s the WD Nomad, a $30 case designed to protect Western Digital’s line of My Passport portable hard drives from 7-foot drops, dust, and moisture. The polycarbonate shell shields your hard drive while a shock-absorbing elastomer cushion inside keeps it snug, and a heavy-duty latch and silicon liner seals the whole thing up.

What’s also nice about this case is that once your drive is inside, there’s little reason to open it up again. There’s an opening for connecting a USB cable and an exterior ring for attaching a carabiner, cable, or strap to secure it to a bag.

If you regularly travel with a portable hard drive, you’ll grab this at www.wdc.com (30$) and avoid the inconvenience of losing all your irreplaceable photos and files.
