Whats the best way to have USB drive kept on you at all times plus also so u never loose them?

I have a bunch of flash drives (my own network encrypted stuff is on there) so was thinking of putting then on my car keys so they wouldn't get lost...

However banging my keys round could easily break them, and sticking them in a wallet can easily loose them since there the 8Gig SP Silicon...

Most of then are bootable, so they need to be on separate drives for the purpose, while others are used as data... probably have around 6+ usb keys..

Whats the best way to carry these ?
 
How many do you carry? I usually carry one in my coin pocket? At home, I keep them in a eye glass case. This way they don't get lost in a drawer.

Since you're asking for opinions, if you really need to have multiple bootable flash drives on your person "at all times," but you can't carry around something like a backpack or laptop case to keep them in, maybe you could re-examine whether you REALLY need to carry them all around with you "at all times."

At the moment i have 6, but more on the way. since i have a few which are bootable and don't wish for anyting else to be stored on them.

So I have several 8Gig flash drives SP.

I found the back of my drivers license window type, a slip where one is unused... and its not flexible enough for them to come out.

Perfect.
