Key Fob Covers you all are using?

smooveken · 06-16-2017, 01:01 PM

Just curious to see what everyone is using for covers, if any.

But what do you have to protect the fob cover?

We have this one for the 7er and the leather one for the X5. The leather one has stood up to tons of abuse over 2 years. After a year, the one pictured above broke. The blue thread bar's allen-head snapped off right where it exits the beveled retaining flange on the backside (against the body of the fob cover). Cheap aluminum part. Of course, you can't just buy a new piece...gotta buy the whole fob cover.

I have the leather one and the pin that goes through got loose and fell out... wish i could just buy the pin but looks like i have to get a whole new one. Looking at that M-Performance one with thirst.....

This gets the job done and doesn't make the fob much bulkier.

IndyJer · 06-16-2017, 08:54 PM

I protect the fob with my pocket

NOVA99 · 06-16-2017, 09:01 PM

None...purses not needed.

PeanutButterJellyTime · 06-16-2017, 09:09 PM

Too many things in my purse that can scratch it.

NOVA99 · 06-16-2017, 09:13 PM

Not sure whether to laugh or grimace at that response.

I always say on here that eBay and AliExpress are your friends. Just be cautious and do your research.
