W223 Key Fob cover

W223 peeps! Anybody opt for any of the third party key fob covers? Albeit rubber, leather/leather-ish, carbon etc... Thought I saw the MB dealer store had rubber looking ones but not sure how the fitment is or for Amazon ones as well.

I have the plastic one and this one from story leather. You get to choose the color and finish.

This rubbery one available at Amazon works very well. I kept dropping my remote until I put this on...FYI, it covers the panic button, so you'll lose that. Use a credit card to help slide it onto the remote (you'll see what I mean when you put the cover on)

I like that one too. What color did you opt for and how's it holding up? I'm the same, I don't drop it often but when I do - I cringe thinking it's going to break or go bad.

i just went for the generic black one. My car is black on black. It’s a very snug fit, offers a little non-slip protection and looks new 6 months after I bought it. It adds very little weight to an already heavy key fob.

Holding up great. I liked it so much I ordered the same one for my key to the Pacifica.

I did replace the belt loop with a different one because it hung down too far on my belt. Here is a picture of both fobs:

I already hate keys so much that I can't take them even naked - so adding a cover is a no-go for me.
Can't wait until all my cars have no physicals keys at all. Owning a BMW and Tesla, makes my Mbenz feel outdated to be honest. It's a shame that we are in 2024 and almost 2025, and still UWB phone key isn't even an option on the top luxury models like S-class and GLS.

I wish MB had the Apple keys also. It was a big selling point of the i7 for me. Our house is fully smart locked, so the only keys we have to carry are car keys.

I clip my keys on my belt loop, thats why I use a cover. If I carried them in my pocket I wouldn't use a cover.

These are much higher quality than what used to come with the Lexus keys. I never used covers on my Lexus keys, when I got my first LS460 I got the credit card key, and thats actually when I stopped carrying keys. Before that I just carried keys in my pocket. So when I got the S560 I didn't want to go back to carrying a key in my pocket so I decided to use these and jut clip the key to my belt.

These are really solid, molded leather. If anything they are more like a case than a cover

Hello, I am the craftsman for this product. I was just informed by Mike that you might need me to create something special for the S-class key.

Good for you

I am all for hand made stuff opposed to machine made.

People like to put hand made things on etsy, perhaps that might help your business. I am not affiliated or anything just a customer : )

how would I order 2 from you? I have a new model S 580 with the Red leather color. Do you have that color in stock? Or can you make it from leather you have or can get?
I'm actually in Houston, I see you say you are Texan also?

Thanks for any info. I'm new on here too, so I'm not sure if this even has a messenger type deal on it?
If it doesn't, or even if it does, let me know on here if you can do that color for us.

Thank you,
Paul

I'm also happy to find a hand made real leather one! And being from the Republic of Texas makes it even that much better!

On your website, I'm on call this wknd working so I didn't search every inch of it, but do you list the various cars you are able to do?
These would make great Christmas presents for this year. Something custom and nice and special and it looks like maybe too reasonable of prices too!
