I think if you’re just prioritizing durability the LV key pouch is the most durable and long lasting slg out of the group. I own/ or have owned all possible styles and that one I have held on to. I do prefer to use the Chanel classic flat card holders because they are pretty and have a bit of organization. I find them to show corner wear sooner which is a disappointment. I’ve sold many cc flats but always end up repurchasing because well I like them. The pretty colors make me crazy! I think cc flap card holders don’t show that same kind of wear but they are bulkier. That’s been my experience…

Thanks, everyone. Having a hard deciding between the key pouch and Recto verso now. The latter one looks more stylish but definitely more expensive. Worried if the latter one is a bit chunky?

The key pouch is great. I looked at the LV card holder yesterday and it's still a decent size despite having the fewest pockets. I hope to get a Chanel card holder soon but so far they're sold out of everything.

Rector verso is nice alternative to key pouch. It is a little chunky but it's slim enough. I'd say get both but to start, the key pouch is always a good option.

I only have the LV DE key pouch from your list but I would actually suggest the LV monogram pocket organizer ( M60502 ). I never found myself hooking the little clasp on the key pouch for anything and the zipper got in the way of my cash, but I did use it for about a year or more exclusively and it still looks great. The pocket organizer has a lot of slots where you can fit cards/cash in neatly but I only switched to it a few weeks ago so I can't comment on the wear.

I have both and the RV is much bigger/chunkier. So it will depend on what you want to use it with. EG I can’t use the RV with the DZP bc it’s too chunky so I use the key pouch and a smaller (Gucci marmont) card holder. But I do use the RV in the MPA and PSM no problem

I think the RV bulks up in an unattractive way quickly depending on what you put inside. I returned mine when it first came out as I prefer the key pouch. It holds more IMO.
