The fob may also be formed by placing display domes within an outer rim and sealing the combination within a u-shaped ring. Designs and slogans may be placed on the display surfaces. The fob may then be attached to a key ring using a clip configured to accommodate crimping. The clip attachment allows the fob to rotate freely around the key ring.
