I tried this sleek key holder that hides a spot for an AirTag — and it matches the look of my iPhone 17 Pro

I really don’t know why I still carry keys in 2026, especially in an age of fingerprint-enabled smart locks and electric cars that unlock via my phone. Yet, the need for physical keys persists.

While most key finders require me to dangle them from a keychain, I recently ditched mine for the MagBak KeyTag — a sleek-looking holder that doesn’t just look good, it also discreetly hides my AirTag 2. Best of all, there’s a $10 discount right now that brings the cost down to $39.

Store your keys in the MagBak KeyTag, which features a slick looking aluminum unibody construction that can hold up to 6 keys and can also hide an AirTag discreetly inside of it.

To start, this is the best-designed key holder I’ve come across. Unlike the KeySmart iPro I previously tested, MagBak’s version features a modern design that borrows from the iPhone’s aesthetic. Not only does it match the Cosmic Orange of my iPhone 17 Pro, but it feels incredibly solid thanks to its unibody, aircraft-grade aluminum frame.

It does an excellent job of tucking away my keys, which looks far better than the tangled mess of my previous keychain. There’s a small lip on one side that doesn’t just allow me to swivel out my keys — it also doubles as a handy bottle opener. If you know me, you know how much I crave utility, so having this on me means I never have to wait long to crack open a beer.

Inside the MagBak KeyTag, there’s a small cutout specifically made for an AirTag. This means you’ll need to provide your own if you want to track your keys should you lose or misplace them. Without one, it's essentially a slick looking key holder and nothing more.

While I’d prefer integrated Find My functionality like the KeySmart iPro offers, I think this setup works better because adding a dedicated battery and extra components would only make it bulkier. Plus, the AirTag 2’s excellent battery life means I won’t have to worry about it dying anytime soon.

It really is the best-looking key holder I’ve used to date, perfectly emphasizing the company’s philosophy of pairing minimalist design with exceptional functionality.
