Reviews for a similar item said that the rings don't bounce back after putting a bulky rubberized car key on there. Anyone have that problem?

I never tried to put a bulky key directly on a small "troika's" ring, even if it will get in- it will not slide around and will be not comfortable, I think. Always leaving original larger ring and attach it to a small ring.

I have not tried that. I would assume that is accurate tho. I have a bulky car key and I just used a different ring that was a little bit larger and didn't have a problem "bouncing back." All my other keys worked fine with the rings.

I don't see this with mine. Could it be how you carry them? I put mine on my belt or waistband every day. Perhaps if mounted on a lanyard or in a pocket it could "double bounce"?

It didn't hold on my car- just careened off onto the floor. Its big, heavy but has no traction on the bottom. I got the vent mounted phone holder which I believe is wide enough to hold you phone.

I found that when I tighten my cap down too tight the ring won't move.. If I loosen and tighten without cranking it down hard the ring will turn... Hope this helps

I have a Toyota RAV4 SUV and when I attached it to the visor in the car it just kept flopping down. It most definitely did not work in my car. It was pretty funny as I had to drive holding the visor up with one hand.

It doesn't prevent this. If you want max security, get the keyed lugs. My car would be of most interest to joy riders. It doesn't have a lot of cash value so it seems very unlikely someone would risk the time it would take to change the tire. Your car may be a more enticing target. In which case, keyed lugs would be a good idea.

I know what you are talking about, my Otter case had that problem. With this one I don't have that problem, I think is because it doesn't have the sticky formula like other cases do in order for them not to slide in the dashboard of the car.

I have a large key in mine with a small key ring to slide the key out. Because the top turns off of the lock box the key can only slide in and out. If your thinking of putting in a key that will start your car. I do not recommend it. Have a door key made at your local hardware store. This way you can unlock the car door if your main key is locked inside.

That's how I carry it. It's less bulky than my car key. Hopefully this link works: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12253146/Photo%20Dec%2019%2C%208%2045%2040%20PM.jpg

I had the same issue and at first it was not an issue but after a few months the mechanism that locked the tower in the upright position failed. The piece of metal that you squeeze to lower the rack enabling you to get into the back of your SUV / Truck wiggles out of position and the entire rack drops to the lowered position. Be careful. If my truck wasn't a high profile vehicle the tire from one of the bikes would have been drug along the highway. I "Fixed" this issue temporarily by cutting a piece of wood to fit to wedge into the space where the metal spring is and then zip tying it there so it couldn't wiggle itself open but in the end I ended up spending the money and buying a higher quality rack.

It comes off fairly (too) easily which is the problem. It falls off often just from the movement of the car and it is level. I would not recommend it to any one. It seemed like the perfect solution but was not.

yes it will fall of the keys are to heavy. So I only put a few keys at a time mainly not my car keys with remote.

Also make sure the spacer is tightened well with the allen wrench. It will still bounce some.

Nope. . . what you 'see', is what you get. I just use the "ring" (whatever you call it) to attach them to a key-chain, or the like. I have a couple with rubber bands attached to the ring, that I simply have 'hanging' off the 'arms' that are on each side of the steering wheel.

My keys do not bounce around. Be sure they are set properly by examining each one. When my xylophone arrived, a few of the keys had bent pegs (pegs are at the top for the lower keys and at the bottom of the upper keys), do they key was not sitting properly. I straightened the bent pegs out and then the keys sat properly. The keys should sit between the pegs, with the pegs vertical, and end of the key with the hole should allow the key to sit within the hole all the way to the metal bar under the key. I hope his helps.

Once you open it a few times, it is easier. Please do not give up on this valuable tool. You do not want it to be so easy to open that it falls off your keyring.

I wouldn't recommend a key ring use. I actually carry it in my tote bag pocket or purse with a side pocket. Now to put it down into your pocket would be ok as long as it doesn' catch to anything in your pocket! I love it. I bought for my children & a grandchilds. I do check to make sure it's in lock mode just to be safe. It stays in lock mode!
