Need a running wallet for a car key

rom

Looking to get a running wallet that will take a few coins. I have looked around and I want to carry a car key and house key. Most of them seem too small for a car key. The key is this one so its a big enough one. http://uobd2.com/upload/pro/2010-toyota-corolla-keyless-entry-remote-key.jpg Would love a velcro one. I have been tieing it to my shoe laces but one pair of runners I have has a tendency to open and when these keys cost like a few hundred 100 to get replaced. I know you might say what about a pocket. My problem there is that I wear cheap shorts and don't believe in paying 25-30 for a pair which are the ones with a small pocket. Is there an alternative ?

Tie the key into the draw string and bring a €5 note instead of coins and put in a small button bag in the small inside pocket.

What about an armband wallet, something like this:

I use one of these? Clips under your shoe lace and and secured further when you tie your lace,not a chance of opening or falling off whilst you train.




And now the sales speak:

Nike Running Shoe Wallet

Couldn't deal with something on my arm, would either dig in or fall down all the time. Thanks though http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nike-Running-Wallet-schwarz-Gr-UNI/dp/B003P3B1HU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1337247841&sr=8-4 Review says "I bought this in hopes it would hold my car key (which is a bit large due to the fact the key includes the unlock/lock/trunk/panic buttons) when I ran. It was not large enough to hold the key however I have used to hold my house key which fits perfect! I've also used it on race day and found it light enough to not notice a thing when you run! "

I have shorts with a zipped pocket at the back but also have a pair with the small inner pocket which i carry a few euro and the house key in.Have never lost anything.Would you consider a small bum bag? And before anyone says it,i dont mean a bag for small bums:D

I find the arm pouches good you can normally pick them up cheap in tesco

I kindof don't really want to change my shorts as I am very picky about the shorts I wear. Find it very hard to find a pair I like. Hence why I am looking for a running wallet. Also as I sometimes run 9-10 times a week a wallet would be cheaper as I would need a lot of pairs of shorts. Don't like anything above the elbow. I used to wear an ipod nano arm strap like this http://s3.amazonaws.com/wootsaleimages/Apple_Nike_Sport_Armband_Case_for_Gen_4_iPod_NanokwsDetail.jpg for the car key but wearing above the elbow mean's it moves, falls down, digs in etc. I actually bought one of these but it never came. http://www.ebay.com/itm/160515246279?item=160515246279&pt=Apparel_Merchandise&cmd=ViewItem&hash=item255f7448c7&vxp=mtr This one looks good. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/S-Kuff-SWEATBAND-wrist-wallet-purse-gym-card-keys-coins-/150799280930?pt=UK_Purses_Wallets&var=&hash=item68ca8a4993 but it would get really manky. Sometime like this but made with stuff the the ipod nano case is what I am looking for.

I find that the ipod armbands are perfect for holding keys and change

Wiggle has some wrist wallets - might that kind of thing do?

Or would you consider a spibelt for around the waist/hips? I have the Nathan version and I don't feel it when it's on.

This is a dose alright. Currently I wear cheap mittens and keep my door and car key inside one of them as I run. Not ideal, but I manage. Couldn't do it witha bunch of keys though.

I bought a pair of those lidl shorts with the zip at the back. Running a race last weekend, I found my keys trying to poke their way out the bottom of the pocket. Not to be trusted! Like the shorts though.
