Portable information storage device

   
   

A portable storage device, such as a USB portable disk drive, comprises a main body and a flexible casing. The main body has a connecting portion and a lamp portion. The flexible casing is attached to the main body and encircles the connecting portion. When the flexible casing is compressed and situated at a first position, the connecting portion is exposed outside the flexible casing, and the portable storage device is at a status of being used. When the flexible casing is not compressed and is situated at a second position, the connecting portion is hidden in the flexible casing, and the portable storage device is at a status of being housed. The lamp portion can be a light emitting diode (LED) for showing the operating status of the portable storage device, and a light-directing portion can be located at the outside of the lamp portion.
