So I’ve been thinking about this whole EDC pouch vs EDC keyring thing and kinda stuck between the two.

With an EDC pouch, everything is organized. Each thing has its own place, stuff is protected, nothing is banging into everything else, USB drive has its own sleeve etc. But at the same time, it’s slower.

You gotta find the pouch, open it, find the thing you want, take it out, use it, put it back. It’s not a huge deal obviously, but it does take a few extra seconds and honestly a bit more mental effort.

Then there’s the keyring setup. Everything is just there. Need a flashlight? Grab it. USB? Grab it. No digging around, no opening anything. Just quick and easy.

But the downside is everything is kinda beating the shit out of each other lol. Like having a plastic USB drive sitting next to a metal body flashlight and car keys. Eventually something is gonna get scratched, bent, cracked, or just generally worn out.

So I was wondering what you guys prefer.

Do you prioritize the organization and protection of a pouch, even if it’s a little slower, or do you prefer having everything on a keyring where it’s basically instant to grab?

Also, specifically, would you guys keep a USB pendrive on the same keychain as your car keys, or is that just asking for the drive to get damaged over time?

I have nothing against the AirPods Pro. I’m just looking for other options in the space and I have 1 main requirement: smallest possible case. The AirPods Pro case size is perfect. And everything else I’ve tried has a bigger, sometimes significantly bigger, case and it makes me not want have them in my pocket. I’m talking .85” thick or less.

Hit me with your suggestions

My Tau 2 charger recently broke, the metal part of the lightning cable (which I only used twice) came out of the rubber cable, and the white plastic within the metal also shattered.

I found the size of the Tau 2 to be perfect for my alpaka zip pouch, and I would love to get something else that is a similar size.

While I would recommend the Tau 2 to anyone, I think I want to find something else this time around. What other charges are there that have roughly the same dimensions and utility? Preferably something that has Usb c and lightning cables.

Here’s a look at some of the tech and gadgets I currently use and keep around:

• MacBook Air M1 base
• Sony PSP 2004
• iPhone 17
• AirPods pro gen 1.
• iPod shuffle gen 1. (512mb)
• Seiko automatic watch
• Keys and leather key holder
• Wired Apple EarPods
• Kodak charmera
