Abstract
A device and method for creatin a low profile key fob for combining with a cell phone case or a cell phone. A manufacturer's key fob is disassembled and its printed circuit board and battery are removed and inserted side by side into the low-profile housing along with interconnecting custom metal electrical contacts. The low-profile key fob is attached to the rear panel of a specially designed cell phone case and/or cell phone. The resulting combination of the cell phone and/or cell phone case and the low-profile key fob allows a user to carry only one essential physical item on his or her person rather than two separate items, each retaining its original functionality and the two can be separated at will without losing any functionality.
