Thermaltake Silver River 5G 2.5IN SATA3 Aluminum HDD External Hard Drive Enclosure USB3.0
Cons:-USB 3.0 cable is tiny bit short, for 2.5" it doesn't need to be long anyways.

Pros:-Brushed metal finish-Includes little magnetized screwdriver (nice touch), as well as padded carrying pouch-Works without the power cable using USB 3.0 or 2.0, you'll really never need it. -Light/small-Supports SATA III.
Comment:
Glad I didn't get one of the other enclosures I was looking at because this one is probably as close to perfect as I would want anyways. Note that the power cable is USB powered, which is strange as you'll never have to use it, you get power from one port anyways.

Thermaltake Silver River 5G 2.5IN SATA3 Aluminum HDD External Hard Drive Enclosure USB3.0
Cons:Fingerprint magnetPlastic endsExcessive labeling

Pros:USB 3.0 - fastBeautiful brushed aluminum
Comment:
Aside from the somewhat excessive amount of labels on the enclosure by Thermaltake, it's well-built for the most part with its brushed aluminum finish. The plastic ends might be a cause for concern if it ends up falling though. I was able to put in an Agility SSD for everyday usage without problems.
