Abstract
A key holder, comprising an external housing and an internal housing pivotably mounted inside the external housing. Keys can be retractably mounted in the internal housing with means by which keys can be extended in and out of the internal housing while the internal housing. The internal housing can be rotated in relation to the external housing when the keys are retracted into said internal housing with the keys in the internal housing held under pressure against a plug of soft material to dampen rattling when in a retracted position. The external housing includes an internal chamber sized and configured to contain a larger remote key adjacent the internal housing when the internal housing is retracted into the key holder. Other aspects of the key holder include an integral flash light or cell phone.
