I just have a standard MB silver key chain

the leather switchblade style case did catch my eye, but it fills the key chain hole so you can't chain anything on them.

I have 2 different versions of the leather "protector". As far as the attachment issue- I put a grommet on the side and attached a small ring to it could be attached to my regular keys. I love it!

I bought some of those covers a while ago. Mine are shaped more like the key though. I never hang keys off my vehicle key while it's in the ignition.

Those covers might be nice if you have Keyless Go and keep the key in your pocket.
I like keychains, especially ones with a nice heavy feel to them. The crystal cube is my favorite looking one but the most uncomfortable to carry in your pocket. The BMW one opens up like a locket and I have a picture of Mrs. VF in her roadster inside.

Yep! Bought a grommet kit at Wal-mart for $8. Came with the punch and an assortment of grommets in different colors. Wasn't thrilled with the colors so I bought some stainless ones.
