What did you do in terms of key fob cover / key chain for your car?

I got a very nice Mercedes emblem for our Fobs from the Dealer but don’t want the extra crap in my pocket. It looks nice but is not practical, IMO. I just have the Fob and my wife the same. My daughter has a leather Honda case for her Honda with a Honda emblem, she likes how it’s easier to find in her purse. I carry two Fobs most of the time so that’s enough for one pocket anyway.

The FOB doesn't work that well as is. I couldn't imagine it with a leather cover.

If I were to modify, I might consider switching the spare key to a white exterior. Like this:

Yes, many of my customers prefer a simple design, so there won't be a hook. Another style includes a hook with an AirTag because my friend often forgets her keys, lol
I usually use two layers of leather with a thickness of over 1mm, so it doesn't affect the key signal.
There are also more than 30 colors to choose from, allowing you to match the leather with your car color, stitching color, or other accessories.

This thread reminds me that a guy from my Mercedes dealership told me that it was a very good idea to protect my key because if it fell, it could be damaged and replacing it was very expensive.

I have a leather cover for my key because I hang it from my belt loop (I hate carrying keys)

I also hate having keys in my pocket. I recently started using a dual Chamber carabiner (see link) because I lost a house key using a small regular Keychain-type of carabiner, the house key must have fallen out when I removed the car key for valet.

With the dual Chamber carabiner, I put my car key into the 2nd chamber as the last key so it makes it very easy to remove it for valet parking. It's very minimal in size.
​​​​​​
It's sold at Home Depot and Amazon.

It would be nice if the cover doubled as a faraday cage. That is if you could easily open and close it.

I have a white TPU one on mine. Doesn't really add any bulk. I had originally got one in black and silver to match the fob's colors and one in white for the spare key. I liked the white so much that I used it on my main key.
