Default How do you carry your keys ? what type of phone mount do you use

I am wondering where and how most people carry their keys. Without the F holster the key looks ugly and the leather F holster is so plain. How do most of you carry your keys ? Also what's the best phone mount for the 3IS. I've see. A lot but want your opinion on them

I got the one similar to the one below as a phone mount...I can use it without using an attach magnet with my Samsung s7 edge. When i begin the search, i was looking for something with a very powerful magnet so i know my phone would stick. It's small and beautiful. I love it.

Since I am female, obviously, my keys stay in my bag (no help for you there).

Even though I have navi in the car, I got this mount - just in case.
It fits perfectly and is very sturdy -

For the phone mount i didnt want the phone covering one of the vents and i didnt want to put a metal strip under the cover of the phone so i bought this phone holder.

And used some 3M Command Picture Hanging Strips and attached it to side of the console. It's out of sight but still conveniently placed and placed high enough so that my knee wont ever knock it.

My key fob stays in my pocket and my phone is either also in my pocket or in front of the gear shift. I don't typically use my phone while driving unless the factory navigation system gets us lost although that doesn't happen very often.

My key fob is dressed in the fabulous blue fsport leather case. I leave it in my pocket most of the time. However, if I'm wearing shorts...I'll throw it in my gf purse if shes around lol.

For the car holder, I use this

It fits good on the vents, but you cannot adjust the fan directions once the mount is on there, and it also blocks some buttons lol. The plus, that it is easy on and easy off, but very sturdy when driving,

Key with F-sport leather glove stays in my pocket.

My favorite phone mount uses the CD slot (since most people don't listen to CD anymore). It doesn't block any vents or require me to put a metal plate or magnet on my phone, yet is easy to dock/undock my phone.

I keep my remote key in my pocket, but it's in a fitted leather cover I bought from my dealer.

For a luxury marque that's the most prestigious among the Japanese (over Infiniti and Acura), I think our key looks very plain and very 2005.

I keep the card key in my wallet and my wallet is always in my back pocket... After months of figuring out where to put my iPhone 7+, i finally decided to put it in the slot just in between the center console and the seat (where coins used to drop into in my previous cars).

I like my magnetic mount (cheap vent mount, double sided tape). It's out of the way of vents and low profile when not in use. My keys go in the cupholder.

You can always change climate using the scroller on the right. But I know what you mean, I kinda hate seeing obstructed buttons.

That's true; I've had to swivel phone to change climate settings. But the magnetic mount makes moving phone so simple that it's not an issue for the few times I would do that. Everyone has their own preference and I just happen to like this low profile location vs. blocking a vent or having something large stick out of a CD holder.
