    Go for it! I'm up to my neck in other projects. I started that in 2016 when I got my truck, so you can tell the priority level.
    What will you be making it out of?

    Keep in mind there are a ton of little features inside; stand off for the PCB, index for the battery, etc. I'd prob just 3D scan the stock fob internal cavity for a start shell.

    I solved the whole key fob in the pocket thing by using a carbiner to attach it to a belt loop of whatever pants that I am wearing.

    Here's the first iteration - The new version is slightly diff as I'm trying to incorporate a few personal touches. This all started when my dog got ahold of one of my fobs...luckily it's still functional, just looks a bit "weathered" lol.

    Get a sheet of aluminum from hardware store, measure factory FOB, and sketch out on aluminum (like a neatly flattened out cardboard box).
    Then cut out your button holes etc. Next, fold by using a vice clamp. Trim edges. (quick & dirty method)

    This is just a personal project, but I would consider making a few extra cases. The new one I'm working on incorporates something similar to "Tile" key finder....if I can get the battery issue resolved.

    If you had a little hidden slot for a Tile that would be sexy as hell.

    Yeah, one of the guys has one and they are nice. Working on a solution to mount it on my mountain bike. It's not bad carrying it in. It's after working on the trail several hours and then getting out that the weight is killer. Riding out is much better than walking out when you are dead tired from swinging a Mcleod.
