How to Protect Your Key Fob: Real-World Tips & Product Guide
Your car's key fob isn't just a convenience—it's a critical and expensive part of your vehicle. Losing or damaging a key fob can cost anywhere from $200 to over $700 to replace, depending on your car make and model. Here's how you can protect your investment, avoid headaches, and keep your key fob working perfectly for years to come.
Why Key Fobs Get Damaged
- Water exposure: Accidental drops in puddles, sinks, or washing machines.
- Impact damage: Falls onto hard surfaces or being driven over by a car.
- Scratches & wear: Constant rubbing in pockets or bags.
- Sunlight & heat: Long exposure in hot cars can weaken the shell.
Real Customer Story
One of our customers recently emailed us this incredible story:
"Yesterday I stupidly put my key fob and two keys on my wife’s trunk lid. Guess what—she drove off. This morning I walked over 5 miles retracing the route. At mile 4.8, I found the fob. 30 feet away, my keys—totally crushed. But the leather fob cover? Still perfect. I removed the fob from the case and it looked and worked like new. Your product saved me $700. I’ll be placing another order today."
*Note: While our leather covers offer excellent protection, we can't guarantee they will prevent all damage in every situation.*

"Like the fob case, the leather and hardware were well chosen with the latter having a nice matte finish. Similar to the fob case, I love the little hint of red in the liner between the black. It's a nice detail to have."
