I'm keeping the big key fob. I carry it in my front pocket. Now I can impress without stuffing a pair of socks in there!

Looks like the key slides out? If so, I really like that idea MUCH better than the switch blade.@MrMischief
In the not to distant future, DI Labs will be offering a new offering.... a Model S+. The Model S+ actually is 30% smaller then the stock fob BUT it still holds the key!
So they finally replaced the old vacuum tubes with transistors. Nice!Looking forward to having this in my pocket vs the full size fob. Figured I'd post it and keep things up to date if I find any issues. Much much lighter too. Courtesy Threedom. https://mythreedom.com/pages/standard-pageuk8ju.

Great reference to vacuum tube size!!So they finally replaced the old vacuum tubes with transistors. Nice!
Actually, the "no button" fob has my interest. I never use the buttons on my factory fob and I never use the key on my factory fob. If I ever need to remotely lock/unlock/start my JL, I can use my smartphone. The "no button" fob has to be the most compact, right? Of course, if the vehicle battery/batteries fail, this could be an issue.
@Rhinebeck01 is right, we can get really close but we don't have fine-tuned color control for consistent color matching. I decided not to go down the path of color matching, we'd just be setting ourselves up for failure and complaints. We have the latest and most advanced color printing but it's just not there yet for accurate color matching.
We'll keep pushing the technology and developing new designs, watertight is on our list >> probably next for the fobs. We have other cool things cooking too. I own a Gladiator and have had several models of Jeeps and Jeep Wranglers, along with a family '57 Willys.
It is really enjoyable to be a part of the community and to receive all the critical feedback (good and bad). We listened closely to the beta testers and take feedback seriously. This project started with solving my fob problem and has expanded as a matter of solving the problem for others, using thoughtful design and advanced 3D printing is a passion project of ours, for sure.
@michailI'd be interested in one that disabled/blocked the alarm button.
