(This is not posted under peripherals because the question is about keychains themselves.)

I currently own a 256MB Lexar JumpDrive Sport. It's very convenient to use, as it pops right out of the rubber case which is attached to the keychain. There's no cap to lose, and I don't need the rest of the keychain dangling from the USB port.

A few days ago, after a coworker had meddled with it a bit, I noticed that the USB head was sort of dangling around a bit. I want my data to be safe, and this dangling makes me a bit uncomfortable. I think I might be in the market for a new drive (as 256MB is also pretty small), and I'm seriously considered a 512MB Cruzer Titanium. Of course, there's no easy way for it to pop out of my keychain, unless I buy one of those quick-release keychains...and I don't like being limited to only 5 items on my keychain.

Where would I find individual quick-release keyrings to use as needed?

Sorry about the keychain obsession .

Edit: I seem to have solved my problem. Move along, now .

Edit: That had nothing to do with you working for GM, for the record.

How does you having less money in your keychain and no car make you win over someone that has a car and transportation AND a keychain?

On the subject of quick-disconnect keychains, have you tried your friendly neighborhood Ace Hardware store? The one near me has all sorts of keychain/keyring gadgets. I've used both plastic and cylindrical metal quick-disconnects, and the only problem I've ever had with any of them was that I tend to collect too many darn THINGS on my keychains.
