I just want a smaller card key. My iPhone has worked for me 99+% of the time, but still not willing to take the chance of it not working. So I always carry a card key in my wallet. Would be nice to have a smaller one (like how some of the grocery frequent shopper cards are which are I think 1/3 the size).

Once the price comes down significantly I'd buy this. I use my phone 99% of the time but it's a nice backup.

I’m not a jewelry kind of guy, so I asked my wife if I could swap my wedding ring for this ring.....that idea didn’t fly.
LOL
Yeah you can. You can put that chip in a lot of things and use it as a key. Que the vid of the woman implanting the chip into her arm.
I did a lot of research after I fist saw this thread because I think it would be really cool having a ring as a key as a backup vs a key card in my wallet. I read that teslas support NFC tags as keys now so I thought about buying an NFC ring off amazon to test it out but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Did you try this yet? The current options of rings are a bit to thick for my tastes. Not sure if it’s because of the chip or what. My wedding band is very small compared to most men’s rings these days, I’m not using it to stabilize a skyscraper...

Or you could implant it in your hand:
That has the added advantage that if he gets lost, he can get scanned at the vet's, and his owner can find him.

You can melt down a card with acetone, leaving the RFID chip and the antenna wire. Just place that in your phone case, being careful not to break the wire, and keeping the wire in a circular shape. It'll be alot smaller, but alot more fragile. As long as you don't remove your phone case too often, it should be safe enough.
Thanks, familiar w the process and have done similar things. Just lazy, and hoping for the lazyweb to take it on.
Curious, did you ever try this? I see decent-looking NFC rings on Amazon for as little as $7, if someone else has gotten it to work I'd do this in a heartbeat. Most of the other options I see online appear to be in the $100-$150 range, whether that's via Colmo, TeslaTrip, Cnick or another vendor.
Bit of a zombie response but my wife and I have the rings. They work as advertised so far. I never take mine off...for anything.
My wife got the white. I got the black. Went to a jewelry store for proper sizing. Took about a month.
