So, after never really figuring out a way to comfortably carry this hockey puck of a key fob in my pocket along with my other keys or in my other pocket along with my phone and then continuously leaving it in my cup holder or the little tray under the parking break, I finally stumbled into using my ”watch pocket”. Yes, the watch pocket is the little itty bitty forgotten pocket which has been passed over as though it’s no longer there, but this was the pocket that was created for you guessed it, pocket watches. So, for those of you who have suffered along with me on easily storing and retrieve this tortoise shell of a key, try the formerly known watch pocket to store your not so tiny little friend. …”60% of the time it works every time. ; “ -Anchorman

I’m not sure what all the fuss is about. We used to carry a key and fob before, this is smaller than that.

I use a carabiner and hook it on my belt loop at the 4 o’clock position and slid it into my front pocket just perfectly. Don’t even notice it all day.

I think the fuss is that the Jeep fob is literally twice the size of any normal fob for any other vehicle that’s been in the market the past 10 years. It’s HUGE.

I typically only carry mine in my pocket when going to/from my Jeep. The moment I get home (or where I’m going) I take it out and hang it up.

I think the Jee engineers just found the cheapest parts available- they just so happened to be 2x as large as normal parts ?

Good idea.
Now, what about those of us "retro" folks who like carrying a pocket watch????

I’ve said it a hundred times before. It’s not about the size for me. It’s the fact that it acts like a crappy switchblade, continually opening up in my pocket. .02 cent Rubber band fixed it.

Or take out the spring, also problem solved. Now shall we close another key fob thread like so many before it? Or do we all need to reiterate our solutions?

-Remove key, replace with knife blade

-remove key, drill hole, add to key chain separate from fob

-put fob guts in an after market fob case

-use sweet mini pocket on pants for brick fob

-and gargantuan key chain to fob so it doubles as a medieval weapon

-ditch fob and use the glitchy uconnect app to hopefully gain entry and use of your JT

did I miss any?

Op- dont take the ribbing personally, its in good humor
