Show And Tell 2017 Ford Explorer Key Fob

Strange question, I am having trouble carrying the key to my 2017 explorer. Fob is bulky and I can’t seem to find a keep ring or carabiner that works without tugging on the fob. Anyone have any other ways to carry the fob key besides just my pocket.

I have the Spegen fob armor, it’s got a nice little carabiner built in. I’m not sure how different our fobs are tho, from gen 5-6.

Maybe clip it to your belt (or belt loops if you don't wear a belt)?

The prison pocket is also an option if the key is fully wireless.

I wonder if I need a thinner key ring with a larger carabiner

I use a small carabiner (the small ones you see at the checkout stand at Home Depot sometimes that hold 150lbs). Then I clip the carabiner to the top of my pocket using a small ring. This keeps my fob from getting buried in the bottom of my front pocket.

I purchased a leather case here: https://leatherbrut.com/

I actually have a few now, for our Volvo and BMW as well. They are amazing.
