The KeyDisk is an innovative new hexagonal key holder that holds up to six keys while removing the clanky bulk of keychains or lanyards.
Currently a Kickstarter campaign, the design weighs just 1.2 ounces and is made from sandblasted and anodized aluminum. The design is inspired from a minimal and elegant design that adds an edge of sleekness to your essential supplementary items of wallet and phone. The KeyDisk can easily be carried around by sliding it into a pocket or wallet because of its compact and sturdy design. The holder works by securing the face of the keys into the KeyDisk by a phillips or a flathead screwdriver, at which point the keys can be rotated out when needing to be used. The holder can fit keys, but also hold key rings, car remotes, carabiner clips and membership cards.
The company hopes to begin shipping out the product in January 2014.
