As my car is set up to lock only by pushing the button, I still do not have to push the button to unlock. It just stays in my pocket then.
As my car is garaged it is unlocked most times anyway!
Setting to lock that way kind of makes it impossible to lock the keys in the car. That keys locked in car
has happened way too many times as reported here.

I use it every once in a while. Not sure why, probably becuase it's the first car I've owned that has a FOB. I think once I get used to it more, it will never get used unless I need to pop the hatch.

No, not used with the Corvette. I do like to use the remote beep for the Bimmer, especially when parked on the street downtown and someone is walking their yap dog by the car. So far, the record for a vertical jump is held by a Schitzu at approximately 25 inches. Hey, I wouldn't Schitzu about that.

Not even when you wash them? 
And why do you need it for the hatch? There are 2 buttons you know. One inside and one outside.
I put my FOB in my pocket when I get dressed and take it out when I get undressed. Other than that it stays in my pocket. I don't ever press any of the FOB buttons unless I'm testing something. I have the FOB jacket (05-07 only so far) so I don't even accidentally press a button.

As for the poll, I absolutely love the fact that I never have to reach for my keys anymore... not to get in, not to open the hatch, not to start the car, and not to lock it. Just put the fob in my pocket and go.

The outside button is on the right side of the rear license plate bracket -- on the top part -- you have to feel around for it a bit, but it's there. I would have never found it if I hadn't read about it in the owners manual!
