I just stop carry my key fob anymore ... so it won't get scratched.

Phone as main key + key card as back up in wallet

Same here…. I cannot get over how much the digital key has changed my day to day habits. I don’t use either of the fobs now.

iTomH I have #2. It's nice quality but HUGE and too big for pants pockets. Wouldn't recommend purely based on size

Thank you so much! I was able to pick up #1 and #2 (local dealer matched online prices) and they fit great. The opening through which the key fob is inserted are on opposite sides between the two covers, such that the leather one permits the use of a key ring whereas the M version blocks it.

As an aside, I had some graphene coating I sometimes use on a car and I tried it on the key fobs; the tiny microscratches disappeared and the key looked amazing. Slippery, granted, but it's going in a key fob cover so that's OK.

I like the carbon fiber one - it’s very cool looking, sturdy, slim, quality. It’s a showpiece. The leather one is less expensive but also looks a bit generic. That said I’m glad to have gotten two different ones because it makes key identification (mine vs. wife’s) very easy.

Thanks for your input.

While I use phone as key everyday, I ordered a very cheap transparent case from temu costing ~3 bucks and it fits perfectly and feels pretty nice. As a bonus, it makes the trunk button less prone to accidental trigger but you can still use all button pretty easily. I am very happy with it

I use this one as well. I have a bad case of the "dropsies"...when this falls, it kind of pops open with minor scratches on the case, but the original key is protected.

I have the same issue with my iPhone...drop it regularly on concrete, granite mall/airport floors etc. I don't know how people can carry around a $1K mini computer/phone and not protect it, but that's just me.

I bought this one, it's expensive, nearly $10 but fits great (little tight) and looks awesome, real leather.

Carbon case looks nice but it is too thick so I want to change those Aliexpress ones.
However, I paid too much for the carbon case so I can not do that.

I got this for $0.99, received in less than two weeks.
Now shows $4.36 for me, if you are first time user, you probably can get cheaper price.

Decent protector.

Has anyone found a good key ring or clip that works with the newest 2024 key FOB? A standard key ring is basically impossible to get through the opening at the bottom of the FOB. The ring must be quite small or some sort of clip I would think.

Thanks and just picked up a red for the wife and a silver/black for me. Helps to keep the fobs easily identifiable even though the wife's lives in her purse 24/7. :happyanim:

FYI for the purchase via Amazon they had a 20% off coupon that applied to both. Plus, given Xmas returns through January 31st of 2024. It was a no-brainer decision as if not happy they go back. 👍

Just curious, although the goal is to keep the key protected from scratches does the carbon material feel like it will scratch easily? Was trying to decide between the carbon or the #2 M logo leather case (I like the design) although I hear it’s bulky. Lastly, will the inside of the carbon case scratch the fob?

Joke

No I like it NUDE.

Picked up the one below on Amazon for my LCI. Fits the FOB and works well with a key ring.

I bought this leather cover for my key; snug fit and not too bulky. There are several color options for both the leather and the stitching, but I’m vanilla so I went with black for both. Pretty pleased with the product. Here’s a link to the site: https://keyfob-timotheus.com/products/for-bmw-keychains-car-key-fob-cover-bm-88-1
