No fix other than getting a new FOB?

There are fob covers out there. I've also seen replacement cases.

No problems, but the only button I touch (occasionally) is remote start.

Fob covers are your friend, the 2450 battery in there is a large battery and lasts approx. 2.5 years.
Don't ask me how I know.
get a spare battery and keep it handy.

I rarely use my buttons but my fob looks like the the OP's fob. It didn't take much to wear off the imprinting. Might have something to do with keeping my fob in my pocket and then removing it when I'm done driving for the day. My wife's fob looks fine but she only puts it in her purse when she is going with me.
