Default Do you use key fob covers?

I scratched the hell out of one of my key fobs so started looking into various key fobs. This is the best one I have found so far. What do you use one yours?

I don't use any sort of cover. It stays hidden so who cares how it looks after almost a hundred grand?

No covers here. Don't want to make the fobs any thicker in my pocket than they already are.

Yes I use the silicone cover. I like that it doesn’t slide around in and out of pocket.

Yes, Silicone rubber. Protects it from dropping and will not slide around in pocket. I purchased from amazon a blue and black color.

I use a silicone one that is blue so I can find my keys on my black countertops. Works great, easily removable in case you need to get the truck key out. works well for me. Bert
