The WD Nomad rugged case (Bearded Dragon lizard optional) features a polycarbonate exterior and shock-absorbing elastomer cushion inside. The case meets military spec MIL-STD-810G (PDF) for ruggedness. A heavy-duty latch and silicon seal keep out dirt, dust, and moisture – even while allowing access to the drive’s USB connector. 

Pricing and Availability

The WD Nomad rugged case is available now with a suggested price of $29.95.
