Default Recommended Stingray C7 keychain

I've been looking around and bought one C7 keychain, but it is crap. It's just the stingray logo painted on a piece of black aluminum.

Does anyone have a solid, good quality Stingray key chain that they are using?

I have a red "Remove Before Flight" keychain which consists of that saying embroidered on a 6" x 1" piece of red ballistic nylon. I picked it up at a local air show about 4 years ago and always use it on the fob of my current fast toy. Makes it easy to quickly find the correct fob in the cabinet, and puts a smile on my face whenever I look at it.

Yes but for a reason. A poster reported loosing their FOB when the removable key with a ring and keys came loose and they did not find out until the FOB was gone! When I took my key FOB out of my pocket that I had a slip ring and several items attached, my FOB was luckily left in my pocket! It comes loose much easier than my C6. In fact on my C6 had to press hard to get it to release. Perhaps it's dependent on the particular key FOB.
So I bought this silicone cover that holds the removable key in place until you pull back the edges. Added the "fish" to match the Stingray, Sill Plate, Floor Mats and Shift **** installed. For what it's worth.




Silicone Key Fob Cover Holds Removable Key on to FOB. Mine Came Lose in My Pocket and a Forum Posted Reported Loosing Their FOB! If it's on a Key Rig with Other Items, Not Hard to Occur. Comes Out Much Easier Than My C6 FOB

A few years ago I picked up a I pod case for my fob it made of soft padded nylon like material.

Handy for me because I stick it in my leg brace, it beats tossing it in the cup holder.

No chain for Corvette fob....is a rule. (its all alone and deserves to be unencumbered.)

+1. My keys are totally separate. I usually keep my keys in the pockets of my jacket. Fob keys are with me at all times in my pants pockets.

I love the proximity fob so much that ten years ago, I did the same. I love not having to handle keys! I never touch my keys, except when I change purses.
