My wife's computers at work has really deep USB ports on the front, and so far, the only USB Drive we have found that works is my Corsair Survivor.

I would like to find a "skinny" USB drive to get for her, as I don't want to give up mine, and she doesn't need a drive with the ruggedness of the survivor (too expensive too...)

Any suggestions? Size doesn't matter... it is only for word docs, etc.

* No, her work won't buy her one...
** I tried to convince her to use a little USB extension cord I have here, but she doesn't want to carry it around
*** Go any buy a corsair... they are amazing (fast, rugged, etc)

The cheapie Kingmax ones at CC are almost-but-not-quite as slim as they get:

OCZ Rally2?
Even a cheap Kingston drive could work if you just want small and don't care about transfer speeds.

If money is no subject, Dollarama have USB extension for a dollar. She can plug it in and leave it there. Or plug the cord to the back and run the cable through the top where the keyboard is. That way she doesn't have to bend over all the time, unless she is sharing the computer with one else. But I don't see why anyone would want to steal such a thing.

what about an ocz rally 2? they are pretty skinny and long, not much wider than the USB connector on it.
