    I don't follow. How do we still have those buttons exposed if there are no holes for them?

    The fob has two sides. Only one side has buttons. The cover also has two halves. The two halves don't meet - the fob has a ridge along its seam. The two cover sides are installed separately according to the PDF instructions. If only one half of the cover is installed, the four buttons are still accessible on the uncovered (cover-less) side.

    This sounds like a good idea. Save cost on shipping.

    Why not get one that offers some protection (silicone) and keeps all button functionality? I have several from "the jacket store" online (no affiliation) for various vehicles. For the Prius my wife has blue, while my key is camo which I thought would be hilarious for a Prius :)

    I've got one of those silicone jackets on my Camry's SKS fob (in black) because the silver paint/coating was coming off showing black plastic underneath. My Prius SKS fob is naked because it's already black plastic. ;)

    Toyota should give those out for free as part of their marketing campaign.

    While I do think it's kind of cool looking.
    I have to agree on the ones from jacketstore.
    I have gotten them for my last 5 cars, the dealer always comments on them when I come in for service.
    I tell him they need to just buy them and supply them for people.
    Hard to beat like $10 for 2 delivered.
    Plus I almost never take my key out of my jacket. I like only carrying one key at any time.
    I arry either my fob, my wife's fob, or my motorcycle key, I went to a fingerprint code key front door lock a long time ago to avoid screwing with keys coming home with groceries, baby etc.
    Ever since then 1 key at a time always lol.
