Apex Flex if you want to go a bit more off the beaten path. I love mine both for OTP and FIDO2.
hahaha that's crazy. A bit further than I am willing to go right now. Where do you have yours if you don't mind me asking?
Right forearm! It also works some places in the hand, but the forearm is the best location for that chip I believe.
that is really cool! i have so many questions! is it visible from the outside? can you still have an mri scan? does the metal detector at airports detect it? can you feel it under your skin?
It's only visible if you manipulate it with the other hand, otherwise it's flat enough to be completely in invisible. MRI is fine! The technicians are often somewhat worried but usually accept it just fine if you refer to online documentation. The chip is unaffected. It's too small to be detected by any metal detectors, so no issues at the airport. You can't feel it outside of touching it with the other hand. There is a pinching feeling a few weeks after install though but it disappears completely.
I have four; one small glass capsule type in each hand and two flex type in the forearm.
awesome. thank you so much for taking the time to respond!
