Nope, got the FOB jacket which is silicone, under 10 bucks with free shipping. Looks good and does the job.

Previous owner of my car had the #1 fob wrapped in carbon fiber. Very cool looking.
(I'd post a picture but I know nothing about getting this new iMac to do what I want with pictures.)

That is my thought. I keep the fob in the watch pocket of my jeans. Wish I had a dollar for every time I've leaned over hatch opening and bumped the panic button.

No. I just don't see the need for it. My car is set to automatically lock when I walk away.

I pretty much just stick the fob in my pocket and forget it until I'm done driving for the day.

Not a big deal. Like your penny bags btw. My s/o has so many jars full of them in the pantry that the shelves sag.

Same here. It's baffling to me that people spend money to cover these FOBs. It's too big already, in my opinion.

I have a RAV4 with similar FOB functionality and it's like half the size!
