KeySmart Original Key Holder - Compact Key Organizer for Key Chain, Minimalist Clutter-Free EDC Keychains Key Ring, Blue, 14 Keys

I must say at the beginning I tried one of these but not the original ones. Because it was at hand. But it didn't last even some days. This one is really nice. Totally recommended.

*****UPDATE 3.25.16**************** After a year and a half, the KeySmart has just gotten better. I haven't needed to tighten the screws for months. The paint is really durable where the key attached to the top doesn't rub. I get lots of comments on it and have never had a problem with it- zero broken screws. One benefit that was unnoticed early on is that I no longer have to look and find specific keys. Based on how it sits in the hand, over time you get pretty good at remembering which key is which slot. By the time I'm at my front door, the key is out and ready. This feature is super valuable when your hands are full! I really love my KeySmart. ********************************************************************** Original Review:*********************************************************** This thing is awesome. I hated my keys jabbing into my leg throughout the day and was constantly trying to look for a solution. Some things to note before you buy - Car keys with plastic bases (such as those which have transponders in them) will not work in the KeySmart and have to be connected to the top with a key ring - My wife's Hyundai key does not have a transponder but is long. It fits well in the extended KeySmart but would not fit in the regular. - Assembly is not as difficult as some would have you believe. Is it awkward? Yeah. But, if you watch the video and follow instructions, it is done easily in a couple minutes. - With my car key connected via key ring, there are some scuffs and dings where the ring rubs on the KeySmart. It isn't a serious issue but the black has worn away and the bare metal is showing through. - I have a Leatherman 831678 Brewzer/Box S/S installed in mine and it works really well in there. - Over time, the screws will get a bit loose. It requires tightening with a coin about twice a month. - Many other reviews complain about the extension screw piece breaking. I don't have any experience with it occurring after several months and many break-downs and re-assemblies. One thing to watch out for that might be the culprit- upon assembly it does seem like it could be easy to cross-thread the screw. The parts are small and threads are fine. Be certain that everything is straight and aligned correctly before cranking down on it and you shouldn't have any issues (I haven't at least). Overall I really highly recommend this thing. It really is nice to cut down on the cluttered, sharp annoyance of a bunch of keys in your pocket. It's a cool little gadget than has a great function.

Alright so there's a few variations of this thing on the market. I went with Keysmart based on some of the reviews. Some were negative, more were mostly positive. I did prepare myself for some of the complaints about the looseness after assembly. Yes I do have this issue, but it's easily resolvable. Instructions for assembly are found on the website (so a more environment friendly attempt - kudos for this). For me I have a total of around 12 keys that I usually carry with me...sans car key. My keys range in various thickness, length, and width. So I had to plan how to stack my keys - but I was expecting this...so no worries. Ultimately I had six keys on one side, and five on the other side. This shorter side was shored up with the provided spacers. Sure enough all you need to assembly your Keysmart is a coin or some item to act as an impromptu screw driver. Once assembled the weight of your keys is centralized and neatly arranged...if you took the time to plan out how your keys were layered together during the construction process. Cons: The keyhole ring attachment - is a separate piece. So when you rotate keys out, this will rotate. Which might cause some obstruction to utilize your key(s). The average amount of keys this product can support is definitely more around 12. Why? Because 14 assumes all your keys are uniform in length, width, and thickness. I had a mix of different keys. NOTE: your keys do fold back into the Keysmart frame. They actually sit out slightly. Pros: Great if you have a few keys that have to go with you, no matter what. The frame is versatile enough to accommodate different keys. Very minimalistic and compact. Basically turns your keys into a swiss army knife. Storage in a pocket may feel a bit heavy, but at least it's organized, and noise free. Basically - if you're looking for something that keeps keys organized and quiet in the pocket. This is for you. Unfortunately this isn't meant to handle all of your different keys. It can handle some and work with different types of keys. A great option as an alternative to the keyring, if you don't have a ton of keys.

It had gotten to the point my.keys were just ridiculous, too heavy to comfortably have in any pocket, too bulky to cram into a pocket or hang from a belt loop. The listing seemed too good to be true, like an "As Seen on TV" type of shenanigans. I WAS SO WRONG. First and most shallow, it looks like a nice piece of quality crafted gadgetry. Not cheap in any way, I can whip my keys out at McDonalds or for a valet and feel zero conflict about how they might present. Noice. Also - The low profile containment is an absolute game.changer! Getting my keys off the old ring was FAR more difficult than setting up this one from start to finish. Don't be I timidated thinking it's going to be a nightmare, it went quick & smooth on the first try, all my keys now lie inside this toothpick holder sized gadget, I have my fob attached, and it was easy to organize my keys however I needed to in order to have the fastest access no matter what I needed to unlock. Sturdy, comes with everything you need EXCEPT you will need a dime or a flathead screwdriver to do a final twist on the fastener - there's 2 total. I used a dime and have had no issues despite putting it through a rigorous daily "dig to the bottom of the abyss " to find them in my hoarder like purse. I'm thrilled to find such a unique and effective item for myself, and also have them in my save for later for one click holiday shopping, DO IT YOU WONT BE SORRY. QUALITY + VALUE = WINNING

KeySmart - Compact Key Holder (Extended Blue) Ok, so, here's the deal. This is a great product. And before I get into it, I want to make it clear that 1) I did NOT receive anything free to leave a review and 2) I hardly ever leave reviews, so it's pretty impressive to me when I feel I want to leave a review. Now for the product. It is everything it says it is. Let me address a couple of common concerns I see floating around in the reviews: 1) The keys are too loose, They just flop around with no friction. 1A) Ok, so for this I can assure you it's assembler error. If you assemble this thing according to the instructions, it will function EXACTLY as it's meant to function. I know exactly what these people with this complaint did. They did NOT use the proper length of screw, OR they did not use the spacers to ensure that you can get a tight fit with the screws. You MUST tighten down both sides evenly and with enough pressure to create friction. The screw WILL BOTTOM OUT in the standoff if you don't do this. 2) After awhile, the keys loosen up and just flop around. I keep having to tighten the screws constantly. 2A) Ok, so for this one, they didn't make sure the tiny rubber grommet was under the screw head when tightening down. They most assuredly left it out. You CANNOT DO THIS! Those grommets ensure that the screws DO NOT LOOSEN UP over time. And they also give you the freedom to select the tension you want. I assembled this exactly as instructed. And I have yet to have it loosen up at all. Period. And that's it. As for the other questions like "I can't get enough keys on the holder" etc....There is an extension kit you can purchase to take care of extension needs. Just do some homework before complaining. This is a GREAT PRODUCT! And you will NOT be sorry. I love mine. I got 3 of them to keep all my keys separated between work and home. Really nice purchase. Just follow the instructions to a "T". Do not think it's too simple to read instructions. Because, as some of the reviewers will prove here, it IS possible to screw up assembly.

I've owned a KeySmart for years, buying my first shortly after their Kickstarter in 2013. I quickly bought the expansion pack for that KeySmart, to accommodate the number of keys I carry. Recently, one of the posts for that expansion broke (the threads sheared off), necessitating a replacement. As the expansion pack is no longer sold, I bought a whole new KeySmart with the included expansion ability. Unfortunately, this new system is a poor substitute for the original. First, it's advertised as a "fourteen key" capable set. I get that YMMV for key thicknesses, but I couldn't fit my eleven keys onto the "fourteen key" posts. Only one of my keys is extra thick-- the rest are the normal mix of MasterLock, Kwikset, and Schlage. I wound up using two of the remaining expansion posts from my old KeySmart to provide the extra space I needed, which means I risk a second post/thread failure some day. Second, assembling the KeySmart with all keys was a challenge, as the male threaded bolts/rods are not fixed to the KeySmart body, which required holding the bulk of the keys on the male thread (which wobble around) and the last key and spacers on the longer-than-necessary female thread (which is fixed to the body plate) and carefully bringing them together. Then disassemble the whole things to make adjustments before repeating the assembly. For me, this was exacerbated by the expansion posts remaining with the female posts when I unscrewed them, so half the keys and spacers would drop out as the male thread was removed. The old unit was superior, imo, as the expansion posts could thread on the female threaded posts fixed to the body plates, so the whole assembly was easier to handle as the keys were stacked and adjusted. Still, I got the new unit assembled and everything seems fine. I just hope I don't need to add or remove any keys anytime soon.

Nice little but durable key organizer that isnt as much as that orbit key stuff so i'd say its worth it. I keep four keys in it with the spacers in between and they fit in securely. The color is a nice metallic red that I like and it looks sleek. It is very easy to set up keys and it doesn't take up a lot of space nor is it bulky. I have quite a big of stuff on my lanyard but this organizer is lightweight but still metal and the screws that keep everything together are strong too. I was afraid they'd loosen over time or wesr a lot but in the 3-ish(?) Months I've had this, they're still keeping everything together securely.

I carry a few keys. It's not a whole pile; I don't have a hula hoop hanging off my belt like some comical custodian from an old teen movie. But I carry a few keys. I bought a key organizer with a built-in Airtag holder and found it helpful, but it could have been better constructed; it was already falling apart. I decided to go for a better-quality product from Key Smart for an upgrade. It was easy to add my keys. I was excited. It was cleaner, sleeker, felt great in my hand, and ready to go. The package says it will hold ten keys—a blatant lie right on the package. Luckily, the Amazon listing says eight keys. Now, it only holds eight keys if you don't need the little metal doohickey that allows keychains to be attached. If you need that little doohickey, which I do, it only holds seven keys. That would have been great, but I also bought the little safe box opener from Key Smart (reviewed separately), which is key number 8 for me. So here I am with a key organizer that won't go together because it only holds eight keys, and I'm trying to make nine fit. So I ended up back on Amazon looking at maybe returning it and ordering a larger organizer. I see there is an accessory kit, so now I patiently await that little kit with the longer screws to get here so I can get all my keys organized. Now that I've addressed the lies on the packaging, let's talk about the product itself. I wouldn't recommend the leather one. I scratched or bent it at some point in the assembly process, which is sad. If you're a super careful person and probably less of a lumbering oaf than I am, you'll probably be fine. The leather doesn't feel all that great, and I would have been happier with the metal one, but the leather was cheaper, and now I know why. It comes apart and assembles rather intuitively, so bonus points for that, but I ran into issues when I believed the lies on the packaging. All in all, I'll be satisfied (note not happy) when all the pieces are together in one spot, and I can get it to work how I want it to. I'm not mad; I'm disappointed that the packaging lies. I had to buy a second product to make the first one work; the quality could be better. Will I return it? I can't because my keys got it dirty, and I scratched or bent it, as I mentioned earlier, so no, mostly because I can't. Will I recommend it to friends and family? Only the metal one, and I'll tell them to count their keys before buying one and ensure it will do what they need. Update: 5/8/2025 So, I was just looking at my key holder today, and the leather is already wearing out after a little over a year of use. I've downgraded my review to one star from three. At this point I can wholehearted not recommend buying the leather version of this key holder. I'm not particularly rough on my keys. I'm a dang office worker. The roughest thing that happens to my keys is I drop them now and again. If your product can’t hold up to being pulled in and out of a coat pocket, thrown in a bag now and again, tossed in a car cup holder, tossed on top of the dresser, or even dropped for more than a year, I don't know why you still make it. For additional reference, I have the leather Airtag holders from Apple, their leather products were notoriously mid-tier, and they're in better shape than this key holder is, and I've had them longer. I also have a leather key cover for my car key that is made out of super cheap leather and it it has one tenth of the signs of wear that any of the aforementioned leather products have and it gets handled by mechanics. Just saying. At this point, don't buy the leather one. just go ahead and buy the metal or the plastic one, I'm certain they'll hold up better than this.
