Digital Key Card / NFC

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I've been using the Digital Key card a little more now that I'm back to my gym. It allows me to use a small case for the card & license and I can leave my phone in the X5. My issue is that the lightweight canvas card sleeve I'm using blocks the signal when un/locking the door. It's fine in the cradle for starting the car a long as the case is card-side-down and the card in the outermost pocket. I'd prefer to not have to take it out of the sleeve at all. Anyone solve for this or is the NFC sensor in the door handle too weak to pick up the card signal?

I just keep it in the plastic sleeve it came in. Works fine on door and pad.

yah, the included sleeve makes sense (license one direction and key card the other) or any other non-RFID blocking sleeve or slim case
