I have a RAV4 with similar FOB functionality and it's like half the size!
I have the same problem of constantly hitting the alarm button or opening the hatch when getting in and out of the car.

I like the covers from thejacketstore.



Makes the fob not slippery -- stays put in my pocket or elsewhere (I worry about stuff like that ).

Really like the bright colors... easier for my old eyes to see & find; less likely for my old brain to mis-place; use a different color to distinguish-at-a-glance fob #1 and #2.

Anyway, when I bought 'em, I figured they're cheap enough to throw away if I didn't like 'em.

They'd probably want me to work on Black Friday. Opps, I do. Thankfully I'm not in retail.

i bought both, initially one of the wraps, until i saw the jacket store product a day later.
since i have 1 each of both the wrap is a peice of garbage! its so thick its like carrying 2 remotes in your pocket.
the jacketstore product works much better but i wish it had a window on it because the whole point to getting the cover was to prevent me wearing the print off of the buttons in my pocket. i think i am going to just put some painters tape across the buttons and then insert into the jacket since i never use the fob itself i really dont care what it looks like.

Cheap and fits fine.
I also have those covers on my C6 fobs and haven't had an accidental triggering of the alarm since. YMMV, but they have worked for me......
