Home / Blog / Everyday Carry (EDC) 13 Best Key Organizers for 2023: KeySmart, Keybar, Orbitkey, Jibbon & More

KeySmart ® is the world's first compact key organizer. KeySmart ® makes your keys organized, compact and comfortable to carry! I feel your pain. Keys are one of the most important parts of your everyday carry (EDC), and the traditional setup – loose keys on a key ring – is less than ideal for several reasons: If you’re planning on travelling less frequently and would like to pay-as-you go for your journeys, adding keyGo to your Key Smartcard is a great option. The solution, of course, is to use a key organizer to “tame” your key situation and make them easier to carry around all day. How to Choose a Key Organizer

No key organizer will “hide” a bulky fob. Most of these organizers have a ring for your fob, which means it will dangle off of one end. If you’re trying to decide between the KeySmart and Keyport Slide, that’s a different story. The Slide will take more effort to set up, but it’s highly customizable and can be used with one hand.

But it’s a little bulky for my needs. I think the whole thing could be smaller, especially the metal loop. Second, it’s very easy to set up. The only organizer I tested that was easier to set up was the Campbell Cole Key Wrap. KeySmart executes this design nicely. The keys rotate smoothly, and the bottle opener / FOB ring is a very practical touch. Many of these products can accommodate EDC extras like multitools and knives, without adding any bulk to your setup. The Best Key Organizers Right Now 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.Other products with similar designs, such as the KeySmart Pro, came with better instructions and were easier to set up. As an aspiring minimalist, I really like this option. It’s simple, no frills design gives you only what you need, and nothing more. Unlike the hard shelled products that are made from metal or plastic (Keysmart, Keybar, Keyport, etc.), the Orbitkey and Bellroy Key Cover are made from soft materials like leather and canvas. Keybar is a no nonsense, heavy duty key organizer that’s made right here in the U.S.A. Its patented, minimal design is great for anyone who wants something simple and bulletproof. Keybar

Of course, Orbitkey does sell extras like their multitool, which fits nicely with your keys and doesn’t add any extra bulk to your EDC. Since I’m extremely particular about my EDC and possible a bit obsessive about organization, I decided to get to the bottom of this, once and for all. My Review ProcessOther than the Keyport Slide, which requires a trip to the hardware store, I found the Keybar to be the most difficult organizer to set up. Like The Ridge wallet, the KeyCase is made out of metal. But its form factor is basically the same as Orbitkey or Jibbon. Orbitkey is based in Melbourne, Australia. They don’t reveal where their products are made, but based on what I could find, Orbitkey products are most likely made in China. Closing Thoughts

If you want something a bit larger but with the same form factor, consider the QuietCarry Q3 Titanium. Screwpop Tether The products I tested are the best of the best. There are hundreds of key organizers out there, including many “me too” products and rip offs. 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. Made in Germany from carbon fiber, it’s lightweight, as the only real weight comes from your keys (up to 14 of them).So, if you only carry a fob and, say, 1-2 keys, a key organizer may be necessary. #5: These work great with multi-tools If you really like carrying a multi-tool or knife, Orbitkey may be a slightly better option for you. FAQs About Key Organizers I first published this article toward the end of 2018. Since then, I’ve tested and heard about several other great key organizers (see the “Other Options” section toward the end of the article).
