BellroyBellroy Leather Key Cover Plus Second Edition (Max. 8 Keys) - Caramel

Can’t fit more than 4 keys

Was very excited when I first got it. Magnets feel great when opening or closing. However, after just 3 months of regular use, noticeable degradation is visible. I haven’t packed it full of thick keys, in fact, I’ve only used 2 keys per side (supposedly it can hold 4 on each side). It’s a shame because I really have enjoyed the functionality of the key holder as well as the aesthetics. Disappointed in Bellroy :(

I ordered this item almost one week ago and it arrived today. Today’s my first days using it but so far, I really like it. I picked this one because I was apprehensive about buying this because I thought it would be really large like many other key organizers I saw.I only have three keys in the case and they fit perfectly. Installing the keys was very easy and I had no problem looping my key fob on the leather tab. The magnet seals without accidentally opening up, the keys don’t fall out and when you need to use one, it’s easy access. The quality is great and it feels very durable, like it will stand the test of time. Last but not least, I really like and appreciate the packaging.I don’t what other brands are like but this is it for me. I wish I would have bought this a long time ago.

I don’t like having keys jangling about in my pants pocket on a ring. It isn’t comfortable, and they can weaken the pocket’s fabric. I tried a couple of key holders before I found the Bellroy Key Cover. I have been using it now since December, 2020, and it is ideal for me. I retired early in 2020, so I no longer need to carry office and work-related keys. The Bellroy is perfect for my three house and mailbox keys. They were easy to attach inside the cover. The elastic holders are rather ingenious. The leather itself is thick, yet soft, and it is quite handsome, IMO. The magnetic closure is strong, but I can easily open it with one hand to swivel the keys out for use. My car key, with its integral remote lock releases, fits on the leather loop. The device looks as good as it did when I first bought it last December. The Bellroy Key Cover is a well-designed and well-made solution.

May have to carefully drill out hole in a key to make large enough to fit, but most keys fit ok. I have a rather complete workshop, but I must warn that drilling out the hole in a key can be a bit hazardous. If you aren't really good with tools, restrict the key cover to holding keys with holes large enough to get the bar on the elastic cord through. Instead of a metal pin or screw, as in many key organizers, an elastic cord attached to a metal bar goes through the key hole (requiring a hole with a minimum diameter of 7/32 inches. I am not sure how durable the cord is, but time will tell. I carefully deburred the holes on each key to avoid cutting the cord. If the cord is durable, then the key cover is a very compact way to carry up to 8 keys with hardly a bulge in your pocket.

I write this knowing that I might be a niche demographic but I feel this worked perfect for my needs. I only need to carry 2 keys (house key and car key) and they both fit easily in the key cover. I do however have an older car so I have a copy that is flat and doesn't have all the extra plastic that car manufacturers put on everything. The key cover is great and I fell comfortable leaving it in the same pocket as my phone (which was the main reason I got it). It is still a little awkward to use the key in the cover but I don't see this a major issue.
