    Two questions:

    1. What kind of keys do you have for your daily driver or most-used car?

    Smart key (for push start)
    Switchblade key integrated to the fob
    Mechanical key with separate fob
    Mechanical key only

    2. Where and/or how do you keep them in your person when you're in a public setting?

    Ako kasi, I have the switchblade key fob and as a matter of practice, I always keep it in my person.

    But then my dilemma is....

    If I put it in my pocket, the bulge is annoying
    If I hang it on the side of my pants (which is my default), mukha namang boomer

    I don't carry a man-purse but if I do carry any bag, it's most likely a laptop bag. That said, I never put my car keys there kasi nga, practice ko at muscle memory is to keep it in my person at all times for security.

    Yung option ni Miles_on is the best. It prevents the keys from accidentally slipping out especially from shallow pockets.

    Our keys have leather or silicon cases which make them stick better. I tap my pockets to check as a matter of habit which induces mild panic when I forget that I didn't bring a car.

    I think you can get away with your current belt loop option pero keep the house keys in the car.

    Smart key yung sa akin.
    Naka hang lang siya always sa may belt loop ko.
    Sometimes, naka hang din airpods case ko sa opposite side ng belt loop.

    I am not comfortable putting the smart key in my side pockets.
    But if sa palengke destination, walang choice, ilagay talaga sa pocket lahat.

    I'm sure unpopular dito pero I put my keys and everything else in my man bag. ��. Handkerchief ko na Lang Ang nasa pocket Ng pants ko.

    The reason is gusto ko smooth Ang silhouette Ng pants ko. I don't want unnecessary bulges. ��

    Haha.. I know what you mean. When abroad, I do use my Pacsafe Metrosafe to stow away important docs, power bank and other stuff. But otherwise, all my EDCs are on my pants... one way or another. :D

    1. key. depends on the car i am using. we have all of them.

    2. pocket. i had the tailor sew me baggy pants with loose pockets. i prefer stuffing my stuff in the pockets and do not have to bring a tote bag.
