How secure is the Key Fob when it's in the Key Band? The rubber band wraps around the key. Is it prone to shifting around or even falling out? Anyone with experience?

Super secure. I have a tag hanging from it and I often carry the keys by holding the tag and it never even moves.
I’ve had it fly out of my pocket while running and my cats occasionally steal it and play catch with it and The key just won’t move.

Mine seems to stay put pretty firmly (for now), but it seems to me to be a tiny bit loose until it settles in, after which it feels like it's stuck to the fob.
They don't seem like they'll last forever though, and it's a pretty high asking price.
That said, I did buy a cheaper thing from Amazon and it was nasty cheap thin rubber, so I wouldn't recommend that alternative.

Ever consider the RFD ring for your hand. They’re third party but made from official Tesla RFD chip repurposed embedded into the ring. One less thing to carry around.

Very bad design for the key fob keyring. It gets loose for me and falls out all the time. I'm looking into an alternative.

Right... it's a bit of an odd argument to say oh stop complaining you can buy dozens of fake ones that aren't made by Tesla online.... vs. Tesla actually making a keychain that actually makes sense and secures the key.
On mine it gets sloppy after about 6-8 months. I have a "stack" of replacement originals. I ordered 2 spare but Tesla EMEA shop sent me a bunch of wrong items and then replaced them - during replacement they resent the another 2 spares by mistake - but never collected the extras despite being advised to.
To me, the Tesla rubber band is not a good design - it and almost caused.me to loose.my fob a weeks back. I was pretty horrified when I pulled my keyring out of my pocket and saw it missing

It is 100% a rubbish and flawed design, replacing them after a few months and worrying about losing your key is not what a key fob holder is about, much better to buy a full enclosure from ebay/amazon!
