My lanyard attachments lay flat against me. It is almost unnoticable with a moderately loose fitting shirt.

I meet lots of people every day.
Nobody has questioned me about it so far, including a group of friends that see me every Saturday.

I think the lanyard is a more reliable carry for me. I hardly every take it off, other than to wash it now and then.

I found another thread on the forum that recommended a safety release made out of shrink wrap. I think it was yet another good idea from Blast.

That seems like a smart addition if you wear a lanyard regularly.

I tried keeping a tin with me, but found the lanyard stays with me much better. I feel underdressed now when I don't have it on.

I have a more robust PSK in a mess tin that stays in my tool bag, and a bulging BOB in the truck too.

I will see what I can do about pictures...

I wrap a little electrical tape around the keys to keep the sharp edges from getting me.

My lanyard is my key chain and therefore goes with me at all times. The lanyard is a braided sling tied together with a fisherman's knot (easily untied and allows flexibility in wearing length). This sling http://slinging.org/20.html is created with roughly 100' of mason's line. The obvious multi-functions = cordage, lanyard to hold other stuff around neck, and a primitive yet extremely powerful and effective(and FUN too!) hunting weapon. On the sling-turned-lanyard is a photon, my keys, a foxfire whistle, a 1.5" gerber folder, and for fire I break a 1" piece of misch metal off a coughlans magnesium (toss the magnesium), a 1" piece of hacksaw, and electrician's tape these to a wetfire tinder and a paperclip rigged to make a loop for attaching to a carabiner on the lanyard. All items are on the mini carabiner for easy removal so I can sling rocks for fun at the beach, or tennis balls for my dog's to fetch.
