Porsche Key Cases

We currently have six cars at home, and the shelf where we keep the keys has become quite a sight.

Some of our cars have separate keys for my husband and me, so we’ve ended up with more keys than cars.

For a while, I’ve used the Porsche Crest key rings we received when our cars were delivered. But I was concerned that the leather would wear down from rubbing against the metal hardware.

The second from the left and the one on the far right are sold at the Porsche Museum in Germany. The Crest is attached differently, and both the leather and Crest feel exceptionally well made and durable.

There’s another problem, too. When we’re rushing out of the house, I sometimes grab the wrong car key. All of mine have red key rings, so I don’t always notice until I get to the car and think, “Wait, this is the wrong key!” Then I have to hurry back home to get the right one.

Around that time, my husband said,

I have a few things to order from Suncoast, an online store that sells Porsche parts and accessories in the US, so maybe I’ll add a couple of key cases while I’m at it. The leather ones look really good, and you can choose a color that matches the car’s interior, so maybe we should get one for the Cayenne and one for the 992.
They’re also about half the price of buying them from a Porsche dealer in Japan.

The leather key case he had his eye on was currently available for $139. It arrived about a week after we placed the order, so we wasted no time putting it on the key.

It looks great! “PORSCHE” is engraved on the metal hardware.

Here’s what it looks like from the back.

Pull the key out a little, and the Porsche Crest peeks out.

The leather feels excellent, and the case has a premium look and a comfortable grip. Well, it does cost around ¥15,000, after all… For the Cayenne, I asked him to order a Bordeaux Red leather key case. My husband also ordered one in Mojave Beige for the 992 (911 Cabriolet), along with a Classic Key Pouch for our air-cooled Porsche.

For the 992 (911 Cabriolet), my husband put an Aventurine Green key cover—the color of our car’s exterior—on the key, then slipped it into a Mojave Beige leather case to match the interior. A little extra coordination never hurts!笑

And here’s the key pouch for our air-cooled Porsche. It’s hard to capture the feel of the leather in a photo, but I really like its classic look and texture.

We hung the keys back on the shelf. Hopefully, this will put an end to grabbing the wrong set!

As for ordering from Suncoast, my husband pointed out:

Even though it’s cheaper than buying from a Porsche dealer in Japan, shipping for small items like these is around ¥5,000, plus a little customs duty. That’s why I try to bundle orders. And it’s worth keeping an eye on the exchange rate: if the yen is weak, the total can get pretty expensive. You’re better off thinking about the timing before you buy.

That got us wondering: what kind of key cases do other Porsche owners use?
