We're big believers in the landing strip - an area inside your front door where keys, mail, and other "outside world" objects live. That said, finding the space in a small apartment to dedicate to this task can be a challenge. This key holder with tray, however, is compact enough to fit in even the tiniest of entries.
Despite its tiny size (8.25"w x 1.5"d x 8"h,) it has everything you need - a place to put your keys and a tray big enough to hold mail and your cell phone or wallet. The fact that it's wall mounted allows you to stay organized without losing any precious floor space.
Available for $45 from Tiny Living.

wow. I was just over at uncommongoods.com this morning and saw the exact same thing. I even thought, Hey, this would make a good post for AT. You guys are good.
Anyways, its only $40 at uncommongoods
if you live in MA you can get it here for at Abodeon for $36 I think...or 30 something. I used to have this, great if you live with someone else or tend to lose keys/bills

Land strips are definitely a must. I have one similar to this but i use strong small magnets to hold my keys on the front of the letter holder part.
For you Torontonians, I got mine at High Tech on Front St.

We have the old version of this that doesn't have the tray. BTW, I think you should credit the manufacturer/designer. Blomus.
I have been looking for a "landing strip" for my condo, but this is a tad too minimal for my tastes... any other good suggestions??
I think this is a spot on solution. I also have a Delta SkyMiles horror story from this week. Oh well, that belongs on another blog...
this is actually really cool! how do the keys stay in? is that a magnet or something?
Despite "its" not "it's". I sure wish AT would hire a proofreader for y'all.
big deal - a missed comma
oops oh my - pardon me i meant - apostrophe, not comma... but still, who cares anyway.
I have been looking for something like this for eons. I only have 11" of width to work with for my wall mounted landing strip, and nothing, thus far, has been narrow enough. I always pined after the little teak floating shelves with the slide out drawers, BUT...they were always too wide.
I don't really understand how the key is staying in either. It that just a friction hold? Cuz my keychain makes me look like a janitor, and would not hold! :) Rare earth magnets with a hook would work....
