pete8314's Key Fob Cover

[Alfafoxtrot1]

Pete - I had a few items addressed at the Chicago SC today. I was surprised they hadn't seen your fob before, but that was clearly the case. The manager really liked it, and he made a point of showing it to the other employees nearby.

That's cool, thanks. My local SC has requested some samples, which I'll provide with the next delivery. I'm considering making a small display case with a sample of each color option, and details of the website that they can display, but as TM have been fairly non-responsive to my enquiries, I don't want to push my luck.

got ours today, they look great! my only thought at this point is that maybe the hole should be smaller to assure the fob stays inside. thanks for your great work!

Hi Pete,
If possible, I'd like to order two of your blue version key fob holders.
Thanks!

Thanks AIMc! It looks like I have to wait a bit for the blue but it will go well with the paint color we chose.

I would like to get 2 with the black cover.

That's reasonable, do you accept FobPockets as a currency?

No worries. Unless of course you come up with a tye dye colored fob! No, I am not an old hippy....according to my daughter, just an old fart.

Just got them. Like it a lot. I took out the cheap al key holder and replaced with black lanyard.

Is there a reason that they don't have the Tesla logo on them anymore? Did they make you take it off?

He received a cease and desist letter from Tesla. He was using a trademarked item without proper licensing agreements.

I received my car one month ago and Tesla provided a very similar neoprene key fob holder.

I received my car one month ago and Tesla provided a very similar neoprene key fob holder.

In fairness, aside from the use of neoprene there's not a lot of similarities, the Tesla one is based on the Case Logic USB holder, where the hole is higher-up (allowing the key to pop out easier), and there's really no tailoring to the actual key, or protection to the end of the neoprene as there is my my deluxe version. However, their's does have the logo, which I can't match! I expect to have a couple of new options within about 3 weeks which are not made of neoprene, we just received the final prototypes before mass production, and are pretty excited about them.

It's true. The SC here saw my keyfob cover and gave me a pair of their version. Even the neoprene doesn't feel as nice. I'm surprised they didn't like you using their logo, but are OK with the trim level branding and silhouette, etc. They should have just worked with you on a version for them to sell in the SC. They're a lot nicer.

I'm interested in the non-neoprene version you mentioned. What kind of fabric is it? The fabric outer covering of my fob cover is starting to peel away from the neoprene around the key hole, so I'm interested to see what you've come up with!

The silhouette is my design, not the same as the one Tesla have used on some t-shirts in the past. The attorney that sent me the original takedown notice just will not reply to anything I send, which I think is a shame, I think there could be a lot of benefit in Tesla supporting the community...I'm not talking about blatant knock-off products like red T-shirts with a giant logo, but there's a lot of complimentary products out there that would only serve to improve/increase the brand-awareness.

We have leather FobPockets and silicone FobPockets coming soon...

 

[Gizmotoy]

Definitely agree. I'm sure other accessory makers wish they were more receptive as well.

Leather and silicone? That sounds great. I look forward to seeing them!
