It was called a P38
My key fob is not linked to anything and stays safely in my pocket. Never dropped and only pulled it out once to try the auto start.
And the apocryphal story I remember is that the P38 was called that because it took 38 "punches" to open a can of C-rats. I'm guessing they became useless when MRE's were introduced?

Defaria, that's not the issue. The issue is that the weight of the key ring itself dislodges the metal cap because it is not well attached. My CTS key fob is made the same way, but detaching the two parts requires a little more force then the Corvette fob. If they'd used the same engineering they did on the Cadillac fobs this wouldn't be a problem. OP is not the first one to complain about this issue.
My C6 fob would not release the key, no matter how hard I squeezed the buttons, until one day I pulled hard enough to break the latch. Then it would just fall out.
So I used a Fob Jacket for a couple of years until the dealership found out, got me a new fob and reprogrammed all 3, covered by our GMPP warranty.
The Corvette seems to have gone from Too Tight on the C6 to Too Loose on the C7.
