Osgoode MarleyOsgoode Marley Eight Hook Zip Key Case with Valet (Black)

Exactly what I wanted.

This is my second Osgoode Marley. I am very satisfied with it. The first lasted several years, and it was the zipper that gave out - the zips wouldn't stay together anymore. Maybe I overstuffed it. The new one has slightly different clasps for the keys, called lobster claw clasps. These clasps don't need to be compressed side to side to open; rather one side of the claw is spring loaded and the key just slips in. The new mechanism is easier to use I feel. For the few weeks I've had the new key case, I think these clasps are better. They don't seem to compress, open and lose the keys on their own as easily (again, have I overstuffed the case?) although two of the claw clasps did engage each other, a very minor issue to undo. I had very little problem with either Osgoode Marley case having the clasps detach themselves from the rack that fastens the clasps in the case. The nub end of the clasp fits into an opening in the rack, and the nub can pull out. Some cheaper cases this happens easily, but the Osgoode Marley seems to be sturdier enough its not an issue. The zippered enclosure is a backup to avoid losing a detached key or clasp. The Osgood Marley is somewhat more expensive than other key cases, even zippered ones. It has 8 clasps instead of 6, and my first lasted for years, and the new one seems just as well constucted, so I think the value is excellent. That's why I bought another to replace the first.

I've had this key wallet for about five years now. Good durable stitching and nice leather. I don't take stuff off and on the key clips that much, so I can't comment on weak/non-durable key hooks others have complained about. I use the valet clip for my car fop, and it is a tight fit with other keys/pocket knife I have on key clips. My wish is that I could use this to completely replace my wallet, but there just is barely room for my car fob, keys and maybe a drivers license plus credit card in the card slot. I the wallet was a little longer to allow for more room for modern car key fobs and had more space for cards/cash, it would be perfect.

I have purchased key cases before and had both good ones and bad ones and this one is near the top of the list. The leather material is flexible and seems to be of good quality. The zipper works well. The metal rings that hold the keys seem to be strong. I have had a key come unclasped a couple of times, but overall the quality of the key holders are good. The only problem I have is that the case works fine for standard sized keys, but the key to my car is larger (fatter) than the standard size and does not fit on the clasp. So I had to put an extender loop on the car key so it would fit on the clasp. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this product.

The Osgoode Marley Eight Hook Zip Key Case with Valet that I purchased through Amazon.com is really excellent. All of my eight key clips are used, and the clips click-in solidly to hold the keys. The key case is extra-long to hold longer-than-average keys, and the zipper keeps the keys within the case to prevent the keys from poking holes in pants pockets. The leather feels like a quality product, and the case has a pocket for owner identification. I do not use the valet ring at the bottom of the case, but it does provide a secure and quick release for loaning a car key to others, such as service station attendants or for valet parking. Even the leather pull on the zipper is a really thoughtful feature, and because it is not metal means no clothing damage. The Osgoode Marley key case is the best that I have ever owned.

Durable. Has eight key "rings." The "latch" mechanism for each key-ring is unusual in that it appears to be spring-loaded, rather than relying on the pliability of a metal prong. I have doubled-up on several of the key-rings, so it is now holding about 11 keys, and does so comfortably. It has a pocket on the flap opposite the key-rings that is holding a rather bulky spare car key. It accommodates all of this comfortably. The zipper works relatively smoothly. The leather is fairly soft but it appears durable, and the stitching also seems good. I would recommend this key case.

Still going strong after three years of constant use. Amazingly, the zipper still works perfectly.The only reason I'd give it four stars is because the keys come off too easily. I rarely need to remove or attach keys; it should be much more secure. More than a few times, I've unzipped the wallet only to have a key drop out onto the ground.

I read the reviews prior to purchasing the key case, and noted the complaints regarding the hook design. The complaints are warranted. After using a key to unlock my mailbox, I heard the key hit the sidewalk. The case at that time was less than one week old. The hook is spring loaded and the spring apparently needs little leverage to pop off the hook. fortunately, I found the spring and repaired the case. Were it not for the poor design, I would be very satisfied with it. I like the fact that the zipper seals the case, so nothing is lost, even if the hook fails - so be cautious. The size is good to fit in a pocket, and the leather is nice. Also the quantity of keys it is capable of holding is good.
