Pretty slick. I've been looking around for a fob, and that's the nicest one I've seen.

I wish that they had one with a growler logo. I wonder if the quality of the cover is decent.

There's an older thread here about leather ones, which look nice.

Presume these are just covers that fit over the existing fob? Or is there some sort of deconstruction of the existing fob needed?

Thank you. I like the leather one. It has a nice Sonoran appearance that is very appropriate for the desert. This is really a useful forum, unlike some others I could mention.

I love accessories - including "luxury" (especially fine hand-crafted luxury) as much if not more than the next guy...but for something which almost always sits in my pocket, no thank you on the key cover. (Besides, I like the look of the OEM key).

Of course, nobody asked me my opinion.

i'm guessing these covers don't affect the range of what ever transmitting wizardry is between the fob and the car? My Old V8s used to occasionally do the keyfob not found and that was a pain as you have to fish it out of your pocket and hold it next to the panel etc. not all the time but it was annoying enough that i wouldn't want a case if its worse with it on, but the carbon ones look pretty sweet

My brown leather case is on its way from China. Got my needle ready! So few accessories to buy for the F-Type, not like Bimmers, that we have to resort to obsessing over key fob cases. But I love my chrome Bonnet louvers. They should be standard. Really pimps up the car.

Plastic or leather should not significantly affect it.
