Since [losing a set of keys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aircard-pro-and-airnotch-pro) can often be easier than losing a phone, mainly because people have their phones constantly in sight and in use, the CalypsoCase with CalypsoKey could be extra handy. It allows people to replace their keys to use a one-stop, hi-tech alternative instead. The case is equipped with near field communication (NFC) to accomplish this.

Entering buildings has never been easier thanks to the CalypsoCase with CalypsoKey. Essentially, its built-in dual-band RFID antenna brings a person's entire portfolio of identification cards into the single case. With two antenna's that have their own unique ID, people simply need to tap the CalypsoCase with CalypsoKey to the [access point to gain entry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraloq-latch-5) somewhere.

The CalypsoCase with CalypsoKey is currently available for CalypsoRing and CalypsoLoop designs.
