Rivian has used two distinct key fob generations across the R1S, R1T and newer R2, and we make a cover for each — including a two-tone, hand-finished option for the Gen 1 fob. Getting the right leather cover comes down to matching your exact fob generation, not just your model. This guide walks through each shape we carry and what it fits.
Which Rivian Key Fobs We Cover
Below are the three Rivian key fob covers we currently make, each shown with the models it fits.
Gen 1 Key — R1S and R1T (Single-Tone)
- R1S
- R1T
Our standard single-tone cover for the Rivian Gen 1 key fob.
Gen 1 V2 Key — R1S and R1T (Two-Tone, Hand-Burnished Edge)
- R1S
- R1T
Fits the same Gen 1 fob as above, but upgraded with a contrasting leather side trim, with edges ground level and hand-burnished with Tokonole for a smooth, sealed finish.

Gen 2 Key — R1S, R1T and R2
- R1S (Gen 2 key)
- R1T (Gen 2 key)
- R2
Before you order: always confirm your key shape against the photos above (or your current fob in hand) before ordering. Rivian updated its key fob shape between Gen 1 and Gen 2, and R1S and R1T owners can have either generation depending on build date, so compare your fob closely or send us a photo and we'll confirm the right cover before you buy.
Why Leather Works on a Rivian Key
Rivian's cabins pair rugged, outdoor-ready materials with a clean, minimal interior, and a hand-stitched veg-tanned leather cover fits right into that look. Beyond the aesthetic, the leather cushions the fob against scratches and drops from trailheads, truck beds and gear bags, and it ages into a richer patina the more it's used — all while keeping every button fully accessible.
Final Thoughts
Whether you're driving an early R1T with the Gen 1 fob or a new R2 with the Gen 2 key, there's a Rivian-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 Rivian'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 Rivian's push-button start models — the cover doesn't block the proximity sensor.
My exact Rivian model or key generation 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.
