I use my cles as my main wallet every day, my car keys and house keys hang on the outside and all my credit/debit cards/IDs and rarely cash, is inside. It doesn't hang too low for me in the car! I have a bunch of keys on it and my gym tag. When I run to the strore, I can only grab the cles - no purse or other wallet! I almost never have change, but when I do - goes in the cles as well!! It's the BEST! I have a bigger wallet with cards I don't use as often. I have more than 10 cards in the cles.

This is exactly how I use my cles. I LOVE it!!! I don't find it too long or too heavy. It's perfect for a few cards, id, and a few bills.

I love it. I keep my license, gym card and coffee card inside, sometimes a little cash, so it's light. It doesn't hang too low for me in the car.ImageUploadedByPurseForum1432858863.446179.jpg

Technically yes but it it's awkward and takes too long to adjust to get them in there. That's not really my style anyway. I know others like having their keys tucked away but it doesn't bother me to leave them out.

The reason I bought the Cles I have was to use for keys, but I very quickly found it a little too small. It fitted my house and work keys, but my bulky car key had to be left out (which is what you were planning to do anyway, so shouldn't be a problem for you). I used to take the car key off the Cles every time I drove because it does hang too low and my knee/leg would always knock it which does get really annoying (IMO) when driving.

I then purchased the 6 Key Holder to keep the car key inside so it doesn't scratch the things inside my bag and when I drive it doesn't hang low where my leg would hit it.

Specifically for keys I definitely prefer the 6 Key Holder.

Thanks, that's helpful! Do you find your cles useful for other things?

I was using my 6 ring key holder (I've had it for probably 4 years now, just tried using it). And the first night I had it, my key fob came off....I must be doing something wrong, because I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else. So needless to say, I put it back in its box (can't risk losing my car key fob). I am going to research this some more and try again....I think I could like using this if I can be assured I won't lose my keys:)

I really enjoy using my 6 key holder, i have house keys inside and my car fob key hanging out the top. I hardly ever/never put the car key inside it so it is always hanging out the top. I keep it attached when i put the car key in the ignition, and it sits beautifully. It is short doesn't hang low compared to cles. One of my fave purchases ever, and when i need to i can fit 1-3 cards inside it tucked away behing the keys in the card slot. It's perfect

Would love to see a photo of how your bulky car keys fit in the 6 key holder. I have bulky car keys too!! Thanks!

I have the Empreinte cles and use it for keys. It's large and can fit bulky keys nicely. It's also light weight and doesn't hang too low. I love it and will probably buy more as new colors are released.
