Will this rock withstand outdoor weather?

Can I use this for something other than a key?
While designed for keys, its internal space could potentially hold small, weather-resistant items. However, its primary purpose and design are for key storage.
How do I make sure the key doesn't fall out?
The rock features a patented design to keep the key securely inside when closed properly.

Troubleshooting
Rock halves do not close securely.
Ensure there are no obstructions within the storage compartment. Align the edges precisely before pressing them together.
Key feels loose inside.
Use the provided resealable bag to keep the key contained. For very small keys, consider adding a small piece of foam to prevent rattling.
Water or humidity inside the storage compartment.
Ensure the rock halves are closed tightly. Use the resealable bag to protect the key from moisture. Store in a well-drained area.
Rock is difficult to find when needed.
Place the rock in a memorable but discreet location. Consider taking a photo of its placement for reference.
