Default keyfob case?

Does anyone put on a sort of protection for their keyfob? I found leather cases with 3-button (Links below). Not a good option since you can't push the PANIC button. Yup ... I use it sometimes when I forget my parking spot ...

For the time being, I am using a small suede pouch just so that it doesn't get scratched up. I am hoping to find a better option and any input is appreciated.

I bought this for the A4, haven't used it since it's a gift but looks great in the box.

Default too fancy!

I just want some $2 silicone form fit cover. That's good enough and not much added weight.

The key fob with the gloss back is already all scratched to hell. I want to ask the dealer if they sell just the back cover for the matte finish.

It's not the same as the link you posted but with that being said it has no etched design showing the panic button but it's the same thickness where it shows the buttons and where it doesn't, so you can press anywhere you want and it will depress any button that is under that area that you depress. I don't think I've ever used the panic button but I know where it is and if pressed it would work the same as any of the other buttons.

I'm looking for the exact same thing. No luck yet.

I ended up with a leather case from ebay. It protects the key fob well. I seldom press the buttons, so it works out. In the rare case when I need to push the buttons, the zipper is really easy to open. I am surprised how well it's made for $3! At that price, I consider it a disposable.... To be replaced when a better choice is available.

Anyone else have a decent looking keychain for their fob? The one in the original post looks decent, but $70 seems steep.

I got this on eBay, I think it looks great with red colour stitches and it also covered the metal piece of the fob.
