I ordered a prototype from Shapeways. As long as it fits right when it comes in they'll be up for sale 
They'll be 2 pieces (just like the stock key fob surround) so you'll have to glue them together, but that's all the assembly it'll take.
I'd be happy to let you guys order them now but I just can't in good conscience till I know for sure they fit right. Clearances have to be just right on these things.

I've been down for two since the start of this thread, that hasn't changed.

I guess I'm one of the few that doesn't mind the key fob. Obviously it's wider than it needs to be, but the tapered profile lets it slide into my pocket easily and I often forget it's in there. I don't keep any keys on me, so I removed the key ring. It's still a lot better than the "old" days where you'd get stabbed in the leg with a key occasionally, right?

wallet goes in the right rear pocket, key in the front left, and phone in the front right. anything else is just wrong.

Couldn't agree more.....but for me the biggest thing is the center display. They have made every effort to justify it (tach. etc) but it makes no design sense ....With the rectangular shape stuck in it.

Not to thread-jack, but you're right. It would have been amazing to have a circular display where the screen real estate would have been better used. But then again, that may have meant $$$ more in the price of the option.
