I once saw some carbon fiber cone shaped paperweight type thing that you could insert your ignition key into. This object sits on your desk and you put your key into it.

The 996 Key that I have is fairly chunky and I haven't found a keychain that I really like. (although I was tempted by the sterling silver 911 toy keychain) I don't like stuff rattling around, and once needed an ignition switch replacement on a Volvo because of a heavy keychain putting physical strain on the ignition.

So I have my key and I need a place to stick it - at home and at work. The theory is that if it has a cool place to go, it won't be misplaced.

I can't find this carbon fiber cone paperweight thing. So maybe someone has one and can tell me what it is called?

Also - I thought about fabricating something like this for fun. Has anyone else done that?

1. Does anyone know what the name of this accessory item is and where I can buy one?

2. Does anyone have suggestions for "key storage" at home or at the office?

3. Does anyone have any cool ideas for hidden or "secure" key storage at home (break-in joyrider prevention).


What do you do with your keys at work and home?

I use a key jail a wooden cabinet with metal bars that i picked up in India. Works great and holds 86 sets...

That's it! Thanks!

Carbotech Key Holder.

I'm trying to find one in stock somewhere to buy now - It seems to be tough to find online.

If I can't buy one, I think I'll make something like this turned on a wood lathe. I don't really need it to be made of carbon fiber, just a place to put my key every day so I am not chasing around trying to find my key all the time.
