 From my experience, the Lexar Sport can.  It has been on my keychain  
for over a year (almost 2 years really).  It rattles about in my  
purse, at the bottom of my backpack full of heavy test books, had  
dropped countless times - on the ground, in the snow, in puddles, has  
been left in a hot car, in a cold car, and has worked flawlessly.

Except for some of the ink being rubbed off it looks like new.  I  
even left it in a rental car in Florida, it was dropped in my mail to  
my local library ( I have a library card on my keyring) and arrived  
home just fine.
