My RAV4 remote key fob sits in my pocket all day long. It comes in contact with my keys and other stuff in the pocket. I already see some minor scratches on it so I want to find a simple way to protect the key fob. It occurred to me there are plenty of protective cases for a smartphone, so there must be something similar for the key fobs. A quick search appears I was right. There are plenty of options. I tried out two different styles and both do their job. It is nice to know my key fob is well protected in either cover.
The first one I tried is this Carbon Fiber looking key fob cover. You all know there is a lever that you need to slide to release the mechanical key from Toyota key fobs (Page 118 of the User Manual). This cover, however, does block access to that latch. This is not too big of a deal since it is kind of easy to take this cover apart.
Plus, this carbon fiber pattern cover looks really cool.
The second one I tried is this Navy blue colored leather cover. This cover has an “open” end so it is not too difficult to access the mechanical key.
It was easy to slip the key fob into this cover, and it was also quite easy to take the key fob out of this cover. Plus the Navy blue leather color and yellow stitches look great. There is a leather conditioner came with this key fob cover, which is a nice touch. Haven’t had the need to use that yet, but looking forward to it.
Which key fob cover do you think looks better?
