I don't think Rubin @Aesikidesi that FCA would either produce or permit licensing (to the extent law could control it) of the digitally altered Wrangler fob suitcase you provide as comedy...

but you wanna bet if somebody did make it that some would buy it?;)

...talk about your conversation piece at Moab?

P.S. I think the suitcase would not be a MOPAR product for fear it would reinforce the notion that the fob is "too" big; an attribute FCA doesn't likely want to endorse.

I read somewhere the fob is that large so it can double as a jack board when driving your JL on the beach

Granted, this is a niche vehicle, but my 2018 Ural uses four separate keys: ignition, fuel tank lock box, gas cap and trunk. The size and appearance of each key is distinct, too.

Analog, baby. It lives.

Honestly after reading all the posts on here I was expecting it to be huge. It’s really not that big or an inconvenience IMO. What’s annoying is the key propping out quite often.
The size doesn't bother me either. I find that facing the fob with the key release button facing out (as opposed to against my leg) alleviates the key popping out problem.

In my Key FOB, I have key to unlock my gas cap so folks do not put sugar in my gas... because the rednecks are jealous that I sold my four other Jeeps which last was a TJ.

Did you see the laser pointer in the remote? I have Proximity Remote Access and never have to carry the Key FOB remote, best thing... I hide the remote on my bike and use it to lock and unlock Jeep. In fact I was reading the new iPhone software and Jeep have a way to unlock Jeep with your iPhone...

I have not looked into that feature yet so if any one know read me into to this option. Joking about the laser pointer. Just seeing if you read all of my post.

If you think that the people are crazy above - you ain't seen nothing yet. This is what Headbarcode do after he unsheathe his mighty fob from the Gibson case!

At this point my biggest surprise is that somebody hasn't yet photoshopped a picture like this from the movie Downsizing, exchanging the famous pair of Ritz Crackers shown for a JL/JT fob...... ;)
