Audi has used several different key fob designs over the years — from the classic 3-button flip key of the 2000s and 2010s to the 3-button and 4-button smart keys of today — and they don't all take the same cover. This guide walks through every Audi fob shape we make leather covers for, how to tell them apart at a glance, and which models each one fits.
Which Audi Key Fobs We Cover
We currently make fitted leather covers for five distinct Audi fob shapes. Match your key to the photos below before ordering — Audi changed fob designs across model years, so the same model can need a different cover depending on its year.

Before you order: always confirm your key shape and button count against the photos above (or your current fob in hand) before ordering. The two 3-button smart keys look nearly identical in product photos: the 2025+ key has its three buttons staggered diagonally on a matte black body, while the 2018–2024 key has them in a straight vertical column on a glossy black panel with a brushed silver frame. Likewise, the two 4-button keys are easy to mix up — the 2017–2024 key has a wide red PANIC bar with a silver bottom third, while the 2008–2016 key has a single straight column of buttons with a narrow red strip below. If you're unsure, send us a photo of your key and we'll confirm the right one.
Why Leather Works on an Audi Key
Audi keys have a premium look and feel — and the plastic housings on the smart keys pick up micro-scratches and fingerprints faster than you'd expect. A fitted Italian vegetable-tanned leather cover protects that finish, adds real grip in the hand, and develops a rich patina with daily use that plastic can't. Because each cover is molded to the exact fob shape, every button stays fully pressable through precise cutouts.
Final Thoughts
With five fob shapes spanning 2008 to 2026, finding the right Audi key fob cover comes down to two things: your key's shape and its model year. Match the photos above to the fob in your hand and you'll get a cover that fits like it was made for your key — because it was, hand-cut and hand-stitched in Texas. (Leather Brut covers are not manufactured by or affiliated with Audi.)
FAQ
Will a leather cover block my Audi's signal or reduce keyless range?
No. Leather doesn't interfere with the radio signal between your fob and the car, so keyless entry, push-button start, and remote functions all work normally with the cover on.
Does the cover work with push-button start and smart key features?
Yes. Each cover is patterned around the exact button layout of its fob shape, so lock, unlock, trunk, and panic functions remain fully accessible.
What if my Audi model isn't listed above?
If your fob matches one of the five shapes above, you're covered regardless of trim — trim levels share the same fob shape. If your key looks different from all five, send us a photo via the contact page and we'll tell you whether we can make one fit.
How do I care for the leather?
The Italian vegetable-tanned leather develops a natural patina with handling — that's part of the appeal. Keep it away from prolonged water exposure; if it gets wet, let it air-dry naturally. A light leather conditioner once or twice a year keeps it supple.
