They’re late on Reward delivery (and I empathise with them sincerely. It’s probably the most professional-looking key holder on Kickstarter (or anywhere for that matter). which is always, always welcome! KeyonPod I’m not quite sure why they never countersunk the screws fully. I love when people think before they make something: Take a look around half-way down the project page where they go into detail about the screws and posts. Yep, this project has some well-thought-out features – but the thing that really does it for me are the screws and posts. I saw key holder after key holder released on Kickstarter over the last 6 months with sticky-out screws and bolts.Īnyone else get a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling whenever they see a perfectly flush, countersunk screw? Man oh man I’ve been itching to see a key holder with those (.well apart from a prototype I made around 8 months ago I never released. The thing I love about the Key Valet is the countersunk screws. Okay, it’s probably meant to be “dangled” from bags and belt-loops – but I still don’t see the point in the square corners – that’s a hole-in-the-pocket waiting to happen. The Key Valet here is another key holder with square corners. in fact I basically “hack” my way through creating incredible, well-design products (.but that’s just between you and me thought, okay?). is that when you buy something from me - or subscribed to my emails or whatever - you can be guaranteed I DELIVER in every possible way. The bad news is that it means I’m perpetually disappointed all the time.īut, the great news (for YOU that is). I ALWAYS Have Super-High Expectations of Everything and Everyone. The project creator delivered exactly what he said he would. It didn’t look or feel as good in real-life as it did in the project pictures. There was no “wow” factor when it arrived to be honest. This was one of the few Kickstarter key holder projects I backed.Īs with many projects I back on Kickstarter it was more out of curiosity than anything else. Who am I to comment though – the project raised over $55,000 with 1600+ Backers. Definitely wouldn’t want those poking into my jeans pocket (although it's not as bad as some I've seen!). I mean, yes, it’s damn slim and looks fairly well made:īut man, those pointy corners on it are a strange one.

I am forced by my flawed genetic code to customize anything I touch). When I received my TiKeY it was anodized blue and gold – so I took to it with my grinder and polisher (yes, there’s that obsessive habit of mine – I just can’t leave stuff alone. Oh, and it’s made of titanium – which is kind of like a “trump card” for me. I backed this project mainly out of curiosity. Possibly available here: (.if I've done another small run of them) Īt the time of writing this the HangKey™ is still available on my Cogent Industries website – but I’m not sure I’ll keep making it check the link above right now to see if it’s still available. It's fully-grade-5-titanium, ultra-compact and almost entirely hand-finished: In line with the over-the-top confidence I have in my own products I'd like to show you my titanium key "dangler". However, I have produced another small run of the titanium masterpiece I call the HangKey™. So I know whatever bias I have is completely justified!īefore I jump into the list of key-holders - I'll also confess here that I created a key-holded. I’m completely and absolutely biased when it comes to products I produce myself.īut, I really don’t care.
