No issue here, I believe the key fob is just a personal issue to some people. Determined to have a complaint

Better make sure if there's any hair on it, it's same color as hers! :whew:

I guess i'm weird, I use it like a fidget spinner and click it open and snap it shut in my pocket when I'm walking.

Someone else must have already solved this.... is there a good Fob pocket available or wide rubber band someone has employed to keep that durn key in place? i put the fob in my front pocket and 93.365% of the time when i retrieve it, the key is out. (i hear you... wear looser pants, put it in my manpurse... etc. no i'm looking for a solution that keeps the key in place or relatively in place)

Quick search of amazon this is something similar but at 2.5" it's too big, need about 1.5" or 1.75"

Before i make a run to the hobby lobby or lowes and size up rubber bands, or randomly select something to ship from amazon, i thought i'd canvas the community to see who else is "suffering" from this 1st world problem :) and has come up with a more creative solution

;)when asking my wife for a solution she suggest this (body) "parts store:"

My solution, that's a medium-sized carabiner. Home Depot ,Lowe's or even your local sports shop you can get any size you wish .I went with the larger option cuz I have clumsy thumbs, LOL. no opening of the key!

I open the fog and inserted some foam in the spring to make it harder to press the buttom.
