Lincoln shared several key fob shells with Ford during the 2010s, so the fastest way to find your cover is by matching the fob itself rather than guessing from your model alone. This guide walks through each Lincoln key shape we carry and the specific models and years each one fits.
Which Lincoln Key Fobs We Cover
Below are the two Lincoln key fob shapes we currently make covers for, each shown with the models and years it fits.

Before you order: always confirm your key shape and button count against the photos above (or your current fob in hand) before ordering. Because Lincoln shared these fobs with Ford across overlapping model years, two Lincolns from the same era can carry different-looking keys depending on trim and build date — send us a photo of your fob and we'll confirm the right cover before you buy.
Why Leather Works on a Lincoln Key
Lincoln's cabins lean on soft leather seating and quiet, understated trim, and a hand-stitched veg-tanned leather cover carries that same material language into your pocket. Beyond matching the interior, the leather cushions the fob against scratches and everyday drops, softens the chrome and plastic edges that tend to show wear first, and ages into a richer patina the longer you carry it — all without blocking a single button.
Final Thoughts
Whether you're driving an MKZ with the chrome-strip fob or an MKT with the teardrop shell, there's a Lincoln-specific leather cover here shaped to your exact fob. Match your key against the photos above, and if anything looks close but not quite right, we're happy to double check before you order.
FAQ
Will a leather cover interfere with my key fob's signal or range?
No. Our covers are cut and stitched to leave the fob's internal antenna and buttons unobstructed, so remote range and signal strength are unaffected.
Does this work with my Lincoln's smart-key or push-button start system?
Yes. These covers are made for standard remote key fobs, including the smart-key fobs used in Lincoln's push-button start models — the cover doesn't block the proximity sensor.
My exact Lincoln model or year isn't listed above — what should I do?
Send us a photo of your key fob and we'll match it to the closest shape we carry, or let you know if we don't yet have a cover for it rather than guess.
How do I take care of the leather over time?
Keep it dry, wipe it down with a soft cloth, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight. The veg-tanned leather will naturally darken and develop a patina with regular use — that's part of the look.
