PrettyBlueFin, How can I get one of those Plastic flip-key-holders? What do they need from me? Beside Money! Do they need the Car? I assume they will need a key.....at least...

I think they need the car to program the key so it will work...and the original key, which they clone, so you end up with your original and a new flip key...The hardest part is finding a locksmith who will cut your Jaguar key...
I don't know, I just gave them my money, they provided new cut key, flip fob, and programmed for me. $250
Check out this old thread if you want to convert your key and remote to a flip-style. I did it to one of my keys a couple of years ago and it has worked fine since.
This method requires no dealer or locksmith cutting of the key blank or reprogramming to the car, since it uses your existing working key and code module.

i was trying to work up the courage to try your hack, but the transponder extraction terrified me
I can claim no credit for the conversion technique. I was simply one of several owners who used the detailed information and pictures provided by the original poster in that thread, Pomosv. I had two keys, so wasn't too worried about damaging the transponder...but I did the conversion to just one key! A soldering gun worked well to cut the key by melting and expose the transponder for extraction without damage.
