Deciding factors are how many keys you carry and the size of the keys. If you carry many keys or have very large keys, the cles would be a better option. I have a DE cles and it's an excellent "grab n go" multi-function accessory. I can attach my keys to the D-ring and use the pouch to store cards, cash etc, or just store the keys inside the pouch to protect the lining of my purse and other items in my purse.
 
I would get the cles ( key pouch ) most useful and you can put cards and money and coins a great grab and go item also when you don't want to carry a purse or full sized wallet
 
I like the cles (pouch) because I can put my work security card inside to beep in the door. I also can stick credit cards and id when I am just out for a quick errand :) but, I don't have many keys so I don't mind them hanging out and jingling!
 
I have both and I use both. I use the cles for my car keys and the 6 key holder for my house and rental property keys. I read somewhere a while ago not to keep all your keys together incase you get robbed, then the robber has access to everything. I love the cles for my grab and go, and since I usually go into the house through the garage and someone is usually home before me I rarely have to pull out my house keys.
 
I love my 6 key holder in graphite! And it can hold a few cards/ID. I sold my cles to a a friend because I never used it. My one gripe about the 6 key holder is having to find it in my bags.
 
I love my mono 6 key holder. I do keep my actual house key, car key and FOB outside of the holder, though. (The other keys that always stay inside are for the front door, gate, etc.) I also loop a lot of smaller cards like my gym membership card. When running errands, I sometimes just take this holder since there's space to store cards, too.
 
If you have a smart key, make sure it fits. I bought a 4 key holder, cles, and 6 key holder and STILL haven't been able to find one that holds my gigantic smart key! Drives me crazy!

I would recommend the 4 key holder, though.

If you like Damier Graphite, then try the new smart key holder. It is listed as the "Car Key Holder" online, and is perfect for oversized keys and smart keys. I don't have a smart key, but have a long car key that stuck out below the bottom of the 4/6 key holders. This one is longer, and perfectly sized, and has a true pocket for cards (not the pass-through slit like the 4/6 key holder). The only downside is that it holds less keys unless you double them up: one special ring for the smart key and then two other clips for keys. There is a picture of the inside online. Unfortunately not available in other patterns (yet?). Let me know if you want more info.
 
Hi, this is tough because I absolutely adored my 4 key ring holder, but it needed reglazing and then shortly after, I noticed it was peeling again... ( could happen to any product or Not idk) I was sacred to used it at one point so I sold it. I think back now and wish I would have kept it , but not sure if I would have used it like I really wanted to. On the other hand I think I liked the key holder over my cles for holding keys... Hope this helps. Good Luck deciding!

I have a pretty old DE 4-key holder that needs reglazing as well. Can you tell me how much it cost to get yours reglazed and how long it took to get done?
