I recently ordered a two of the ICON relay switches and put them in the garage. One controls some flourescent lighting, and the other an outside light.
The size is indeed the same as the other Insteon switches (no surprise there).
There is a single light on it, rather than the light bar that appears on the full version. What I did not think of, but makes sense, is that the light now only appears when the switches are off (as that is the only lighted piece on it). I'd probably be missing the light bar with dimmers (but I am using the icon switches in out of the way areas).
One switch I'll be returning as the switch sticks. By this I mean the paddle gets stuck a good portion of the time, depending on how it is hit. It does this for both up and down. The other one is fine.
I linked the outside light to another outside light (the other one using a full Insteon Relay switch, since the switch is in the foyer). This part is probably a mistake on my part, but there is a half second or so delay in turning the lights on (the master will go on, then a brief delay and the linked light will go on). I'm suspecting this one is my fault in how it was linked, and I must have introduced some kind of delay to the link. Off to read some documentation...
The box they come in is much smaller as well, just slightly larger than the switch itself.
Overall I was happy (I know I'll be getting a replacement for the defective one (which I am assuming is not a common occurence), and the delay I am assuming is something I did wrong) and will be using these for low-load, out of the way locations, like the garage and basement. Nice to be able to put switches in these locations that give the status information and can be controlled at a lower price (these were areas I was previously considering for my older v1 switchlincs).
Personally I'm not sure how I'd like the dimmer versions since the light bar is removed, but any place that has dimmable lights I expect to put the full versions.
