It was good. Same as E-bay. No complaints.

Don't use your pockets! That's a cool leather case.

Try setting it off accidentally during your daughter's wedding reception in your front yard, and see how tired your wife gets of it. Especially if you've already served yourself a few glasses of champagne and, as a result, don't immediately snap to what the hell is making that awful racket

I've been searching for the one cooltoy has, but I'm having trouble locating one exactly like it online. I just don't like any of the ones that I am finding.

I spent a couple of hours today searching that site as well as a couple of others. Thanks a bunch!

Datsun240Z71 · 08-26-2014, 06:53 AM

NeoRacer · 08-26-2014, 09:22 AM

Cossie:

Is it possible to build up a rim around the buttons so they do not depress inadvertently? I don't know what material to suggest like caulk, or what polymer but it seems a path for you.

PS. I replaced the fugly clip.

Mine arrived today--I also got one of the brown cases for my spare fob since I couldn't decide which I like better. I think I prefer the black though.

You are right about the clip. Not only is it fugly, but it makes it entirely too bulky for a pants pocket. The clips will be coming off as soon as I figure out how aggressive I want to be in removing them.

Thanks again for posting the pics and the link!

I left the oval ring on.

I dremmeled the little nipple off. Once that was gone, the shaft just slides out leaving a hole in the oval ring. Then I put a small keychain ring through the hole and attached my post office box key to that.

Great minds ...

I didn't think I had a hacksaw at the house, but I found one and cut that little shaft with it, also leaving the oval ring. I put a small keychain ring through the oval ring rather than the small hole as it seemed less bulky that way.
