What's the utility of the key case? I think that having keys just on a keyring allows them to more comfortably spread inside the pocket. Never had one, so I'm curious if that's an aesthetic/security or convenience tool

Just looked up the key case, I kind of like it. The problem for me is always the car key. Modern cars seem to have these giant keys, and I keep them in a jean key pocket, so something has to give.

The car "key" is in the Ridge wallet.

Your use of quotes has me intrigued, what do you mean by that?

Diplomjodler@feddit.de · 2 pts · 2y

I have a Tesla. The "key" is just a key card.

@LesserAbe @rozPierog just so you're aware, there's so many versions of this. Best Damn EDC has a video on how to DIY a key organizer for $5ish. Then there's the Keybar, Keysmart, and Keyport, Orbitkey and Bellroy key cover. I think keybar and keyport are the most useful especially because you can add a pocket clip

No jingle jangle. No snags. Less hunting about for the right key. And I just like the look.

Completely valid reasons! Thanks for satisfying my curiosity

Does the Ridge key case have keys that rotate out when you're moving around a lot? My OrbitKey sometimes have the keys slide open. I also don't want to over tighten.

It had a little spring that holds the keys in place. Everything stays where it's supposed to be and I didn't even have to re-tighten it yet.
