silicone fobpocket - reviews/input?

[Matt Stanley]

Could you make indentations on the Model X version making indicating the falcon wing doors? Also if you still have some of the trial versions of the FobPocket would love to be a tester and give feedback.

Hi Matt

Yes, that's the plan for the FWD's. We're waiting on the next batch of prototypes following the first round of feedback, hopefully should have those in 7-10 days. I'll post again when they arrive.

Hey Pete
Was on your site looking at the slim magnetic phone holder. What's the deal with the stronger magnet option?
It's a few bucks more, any reason to pick over older option?
Thanks
Also it looks like disk part that sticks to phone or in case remains the same?

 

[pete8314]

The larger (therefore stronger) magnet is good if you have a thicker case, or one of the larger phones. I have a 6S+ and use the larger mount, but that's mostly because my case is a little thicker compared to the standard Apple leather and silicone cases. The magnetic 'puck' and the disks are both a little larger at 1.5"/40mm. I don't have the original size with me, but I think they're 1"/25mm.

Picked up my Model S in July and northern NJ Tesla provided these key holders, although I removed the metal chain ring that attached to the end loop as well.

Congrats on your relatively new MS!

Yup, those are the new "sling" versions Tesla has been providing the last few months. IMHO they appear better than the more bulky rectangular leather versions they used to give away many times as swag at delivery (and are still available via the online store), but I'll keep my Abstract Ocean Silicone Sleeve. It does a far better job protecting the entire FOB with minimal bulk and easy access to the buttons.

Yes....it's still darker....I took a photo of the three silver options, but because the car is actually clean for once, you see more of the reflections that the actual color of the paint (dolphin grey), so it doesn't really help much:

L -> R: Midnight, Silver, Titanium

There isn't a pearl white one, is there?

Not that I've ever seen. I use the "white with black emblems" silicon FobPocket with my Pearl White MC MS and it's close enough -- especially as in certain light its hard to tell the difference between White and Pearl White MC anyway.

Thanks Bert!

I guess I was hoping for a "slightly blingy" white one.

We actually tried for that, but the quality wasn't up to scratch; the pearlescent layer didn't really stand up to much abuse.

I just dip mine in Testor's model glue and then a giant bucket of glitter. Looks just like the car when I'm done!

Joking - do not try this at home. Glitter is evil.

Thanks. I'll probably just order the plain white one when I can my act together (and find my credit card) this afternoon (along with the other neat stuff).

Looks great Thank you.

That white still looks nice!
