how yall carry your keys


How do you carry your keys? Especially when your pockets are already full with a phone
(or 2), wallet, etc.
​I usually attach mine to my belt loops, but lately, they’ve been feeling pretty bulky (Key organizer [photo] with a small light, a small knife, and a Gerber Shard). Plus, what do you do when your pants don't have belt loops? 🤔😅

    I carry my keys in my front right pocket.

    All my pants have belt loops.

    Loose in my pocket like change.

    God could you imagine? I’ve had a carabiner for as long as I can remember. Recently got a nice leather key ring/holder but still prefer the carabiner

    I use the Ridge key holder. I only carry 3 keys. It clips to the top right side of my back right pocket. Truck fob hangs from the bottom. It is PERFECT. I’m never sitting on them and they’re never mixed with whatever else is in my pocket.

    I like Keybar. They also have some useful tools you can put in with your keys.

    I have mine on a keybar, but i don’t carry them with me. They sit in my car console.

    My car “key” i just carry by itself

    No reliance here on belt loops. I’ve young children, so that is just asking to lose said item (they would dispose of it, toilet into a plumber or trash into having to replace) not to mention safety concerns. Moved from belt loop pants to pants with stretchy top, been way easier on my back related to the up and down, and exercise in these clothes I do.

    I’ve a single pocket for a smaller, lighter multi-tool and a key organizer to keep the keys comfortable in my pocket and easy to access quickly. Another pocket is devoted to AirPods case, chapstick (that is, UV protection for my lips), and a microfiber cloth to wipe down glasses and electronics.

    Back pocket for my wallet.

    Usually I’ll wear a shirt with side, hand pockets or a sweatshirt. Inside there will be my phone. If I need more gear, usually I’ll grab a bag.

    Same as the OP picture. For 3-4€ it was worth a punt and works well.

    Only annoyance is pushing out the keys to get inside when its honking it down

    I’m running a keysmart since 2014.

    A Buckle-Down key holder. Its cool and has my unions logo on it.

    Edit i have nearly 5 pounds (~2.5kg) of keys.

    I use a ridge key thing, it’s awesome if you don’t have that many keys or a few you use on a regular basis, I have 2 keys and use a third as a placeholder and have keysmart scissors on mine too but if you have more keys there are better options, I also with the ridge key thing had a cutout on the opposite side because that would he more ergonomic for me
