That looks neat. I question the amount of manipulation that is required to operate it though. I'm not sure I'd want that in a climbing situation (which I don't do anymore, so I'm just speculating).
For a keyring, it would be fantastic though. If they'd make it in a non-climbing smaller size.

Inquiring minds want to know. I am curious as well,but I just checked, and the TGC is not in stock at REI. Hopefully it will be there by the time my patronage dividend arrives.
The smallest searching the web is: http://www.trango.com/carabiners_draws/SuperFly-carabiners 3.6 x 2.24 in. I don't know if it would work in your pocket. My smallest locker is 4 × 2.5 in and to do a test I put two sets of keys on it and put it into the front pocket of my 5.11 cargo pants. The thing was huge and not very comfortable. I would think you might rip jeans or slacks.

It will look much more macho if you clip it to a belt loop. I don't believe they make a small version yet, I think it is brand new and available only in new sizes.
I'll be noble and acquire one and test it for you... that's just the kind of guy I am
Most of the time I'm wearing chef pants with no belt loops, unfortunately.
