I have two made by Macally 
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817146604), USB 
2.0 and Firewire.  Mostly metal, tough.  Some users report having 
trouble putting them together, but I think they are not dexterous--line 
up the slot and it slides.  The screws that hold it shut go into 
plastic, so it is a bad choice for frequent opening and closing.  Also, 
though it is cheap ($35), it isn't nearly-free.  The Firewire costs 
something.  Tough housing isn't free either.

I bought one, year or so later bought a second.  Satisfied customer.
