Let's see your key fob cover!

Let's see your preferred key fob cover and why!?!

These fobs are piano black and prone to scratches! Ley them down or drop them on the ground - they scratch. I bought these off of Amazon, $10. Pro tip: heat them up in the clothes dryer to hot and they stretch on with decent force, but do it far from the car as it sets off all button commands. My only wish is that they were red in color so i could find them in the car at night.

There’s already a thread (aftermarket parts) where several of us posted our key fobs.

These key fobs weren’t well thought out in relation to key rings. Holy moly, they’re terrible

I second that. Also very light weight / cheap materials, the silver coating is already coming off mine and its all of 2 months old. The emergency key is a weird clip in thing that requires you to dismantle the fob then pry the key out somehow. I have visions of trying to do that in the pouring rain when the key has gone dead with the wife looking daggers at me

I'm not sure why I even wasted the money for a key fob cover. My key never sees the light of day. I exclusively use my phone.

If I didn't have to valet my car so often, I would never use the fob either. I wish it wasn't so bulky, I feel like they could miniaturize this to at least be more flat.

Totally. The prior fob, kinda triangular in shape, was way better.
