I stopped doing this a long time ago when my cars started having keyless entry. I prefer a less bulky setup and go sans keychain.

I kind of agree. No one ever sees the key chains except maybe a service advisor.

Key only, and I'm ticked about that. I need a tiny chip in my thumb.

This key case has proven to be a very solid purchase.

What are those keyless entry magic stuff that you speak of? My 16-year-old car still requires me to stick a metal rod into a slot to start it.

I have to justify my modding habits every time I drive it!

Well this is totally a different thing haha! Very cool. Kind of funny but my 2022 F-250 still requires you insert a physical key into the ignition so keyless entry isn’t everywhere yet.

I knew someone was going to point that out. The newer key fobs are so thick, I have a problem opening the ring wide enough to fit through the key fob. I'm afraid I'll break a nail

Extracting the key blade might help unless the handle is too wide to pass through the ring. Regarding a nail, you might need to use a scratching post to condition yours. Also, they have different models. Here's what they gave me with the car ("-Is this your first BMW? -Are we that close to discuss it?" ):

It takes wits rather than nails to open:

I don't use it as I rarely take the key fob out of the pocket (even though no keyless entry) and I want to save the space.


"When I was young and reckless" ("Kung Fu Panda") , I carried this one with an appropriate key, of course ( Van1 ):

Besides, when I was on Tenerife, I bought this one for my home keys but I can't use it as the keys are bulky and my waist bag is overfilled :

I have always used a butter knife to pry the end of the ring open enough to slip into the fob opening. I do this because my nails are too short to open the ring!

The bottom left one discloses you paid for all of them. Nice environment, by the way.
