Do you use the Fobgina?

didymus · 08-23-2011, 04:23 PM

I'm curious who puts theirs in the hole and who keeps it in their pants.

Flushnismo · 08-23-2011, 04:26 PM

I actually don't put it in the hole unless I'm wearing shorts / and there is already a cup in the cup holder, cause the fob tends to fall out of my pocket and under the seat every time I turn. lol My Fobgina is used very rarely

i keep my fob in my pants. not sure wat the use for that fob slot. from reading it doesnt even start the car when the fob battery is low.

is it just a holder for semi-old folks who feel they must insert something to start a car? real old folks will want a crank in the dash.

Never used it. I've thought about sticking my finger in it a couple times though.

ChipsWithDips · 08-23-2011, 04:43 PM

I use it sometimes when I don't want my keys poking my leg while I drive. Basically depends if my pants/shorts are loose fitting or not.

murphman · 08-23-2011, 04:44 PM

used it a couple times but mainly just toss my key fob on the seat or keep it in my pants. The only purpose i can see for it is if you are someone that just tosses their keys in the car because when in fobgina you are alerted by a noise when trying to get out so you dont forget it.

I think you just wanted to say the word "fobgina".

partsguy · 08-23-2011, 05:19 PM

How about fob-taurus?

Dark Sarcasm · 08-23-2011, 05:42 PM

i put all kinds of things in the fobgina.

11Thumper · 08-23-2011, 05:44 PM

I keep it in my pants

TheGreatOne · 08-23-2011, 05:54 PM

Usually in the center cup holder with my Blackberry

Otherwise in my pants pocket.

I've used the Fobgina twice:

Once because I was curious and the other time because I had my wifes set of dungeon master keys and it wouldn't fit in my pocket so stuck it in there
