Make sure when registering for a Child Key Smartcard, you enter your child’s details for an online account. Unlike the hard shelled products that are made from metal or plastic (Keysmart, Keybar, Keyport, etc. If you’re the type of guy who like to carry a small knife, bottle opener, USB stick or multi-tool, you’ll love using a key organizer. The solution, of course, is to use a key organizer to “tame” your key situation and make them easier to carry around all day.

In this regard, some organizers are better than others (more on this later), but they all add this extra step. Turns out, I needed to use the shorter screw heads, not the longer ones, and pack in extra spacers so the size on each side was slightly longer than the posts. We may also ask to see some ID to prove that it’s your season ticket, a National Rail photocard is ideal. The KeySmart Pro is slightly bulkier than some of the other hard shell options, and the branding is a little loud (at last for my taste). Maybe you’ve already decided which key organizer is best for you, or maybe you’ve narrowed it down to two choices.

The Orbitkey is slightly harder to set up than the Bellroy and Campbell Cole, so it takes a little longer to get your keys on and off. Overall, I think the Orbitkey Key Organizer is a great mix of simplicity and functionality, and it’s easy on the eyes too! If you’re on the hunt for the best key organizer, you’re probably not happy with your current key situation.

Background: Brock McGoff has a bachelor's degree in psychology and a professional background in digital marketing. I have used the Tile feature several times to find both my KeySmart and my iPhone when I'd misplaced them. If I were using these other options, I would probably have to split off the vehicle keys to a separate keychain just because Toyota makes such huge keys. If you are a parent or guardian of a child aged 5 to 15 years, you’ll need to provide the same information online as you do to register as an adult – name, address, date of birth and contact details. Personally, I’d like to see a version of the KeyCase with more subtle branding, or no visible branding at all.The Slide is definitely the most unique organizer on this list, and it’s the only one that makes one-handed use an absolute breeze. The Slide will take more effort to set up, but it’s highly customizable and can be used with one hand.

You only need to purchase your normal ticket which will be pre-loaded onto your card so it’s ready to use. If, like me, your car has a thick plastic key and a fob, some of these organizers will be harder to use. The product works as advertised but the provided ring for attaching car key fobs is extremely fragile.

For all of the reasons, the Bellroy Key Cover Plus is among my top two picks for the best key organizer of 2018. At the time of writing, the Jibbon is available in four colors and can be purchased with a small selection of accessories (which cost extra). It’s definitely the most difficult organizer to set up, as your normal keys won’t fit into the slots. Other products with similar designs, such as the KeySmart Pro, came with better instructions and were easier to set up.
