Bellroy has already slimmed down our wallets. Now they slim down our keychains!

We’ve seen what seems like dozens of different key chain solutions here on The Gadgeteer.  Our current find, the Bellroy Key Cover, looks like a little leather taco to enfold your keys to keep them away from scratchable electronics they share space with.  Bellroy has mastered the art of designing slim-profile wallets that carry all your stuff in a slim package, and now they have designed a key case that’s worthy of the Bellroy name.  The Key Cover is 1.7″ x 3.1″ closed; it has a magnetic closure to keep it closed and the keys corralled inside.  Outside is a leather loop to attach a car fob; the interior has a metal and elastic band that inserts through the holes on the top of the keys.  As always, Bellroy says their leathers are “premium hides tanned under gold-rated Leather Working Group environmental protocols, then dyed through so they age gracefully.”

The standard size Key Cover holds 2-4 keys; the Plus size is a little longer (3.6″) and has an extra internal loop to hold 2-4 more keys.  The Key Cover is $44.95; the Plus is $49.95.  Both sizes are available in caramel, black, blue steel, or teal leathers from Bellroy.
