Carbocage looks great and functions amazing
By nandakap on Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2016
I researched Amazon before buying this product. I looked at several items that were similar and decided on this product for three reasons: 1. Asthetics, It has sleek curvature and conceals the keys well. It is made out of carbon fiber and has deeply eached, 'carbocage' logo across the side. These features make the 8 keys I have look like a pocket tool or folding knife. 2. Construction, the design is German and seemed well engineered from the Amazon pictures. Now that I have it I am experiencing the quality first hand. The curvature of the cage allows for quick access to the desired key and makes it fit easily in my large hand. It is easy to turn the key because the curvature ensures a firm grip. The washers, spacers and grommets allow easy folding of the keys without loosening the hex screw. The extra carbon fiber piece attaches well to the frame to allow a key ring to be added. The open space in the middle of the frame is critical for flipping smaller hard to reach keys. The carbon fiber body is practically weightless while remaining flexible and durable. 3. Amazon reviews, I read a lot of Amazon reviews that spoke very highly of this product. Every feature written about in reviews matched my needs perfectly. The pictures I saw made me believe the product info that was on Amazon. I think that this is a great product. I am very satisfied. I use to carry two sets of key chains with 4 keys each and now I carry one Carbocage. People have complained about the difficulty of configuring the keys especially when dealing with plastic electronic car keys. As you can see in the pictures my 2002 Honda Odyssey key fits perfectly. It takes a solid 15 minutes of configuring to really situate the keys perfectly according to your needs. They give a wide variety of hex screw sizes as well as washers, spacers and grommets. If you are not into putting things together you probably will want someone else to do it for you.

Excellent Product, Just Not My Style
By John G. on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2016
This keyholder is well made. It looks like plastic when you first handle it, but it is really really strong, lightweight, carbon steel. I decided to give it a try as a replacement for another popular keyholder I had been using. Unlike the other keyholder, CarboCage comes with all the supplies you need to expand for larger key types. I wanted to add a USB and a utility key-shaped tool to my keyholder, so I went with CarboCage. I tried it for about a month before I bought the expansion pack for my previous keyholder. Nothing about CarboCage failed or broke, but it didn't offer the same convenience as the other keyholder. Prying your keys out from the center is much harder than pushing the key out. I'd often have to use both hands (one to hold, one to pry the key out) to open a lock. Aesthetically, I didn't particularly like the appearance. It looks more like a pocket knife. I also didn't like the logo engraved into the holder. These aesthetic problems are my own. I didn't base my rating on either of those factors only the inconvenient two-handed key extraction method. If you like the design and don't mind having to pry a key out now and then, CarboCage is very, very well-made, strong, and would no doubt last a lifetime. It comes with all the parts you need to expand the number of keys you can hold, and for those, it is a very good value.
