    For some reason, my poor key fob got so many scratches from other keys in my key chain. I only have my car for less than a week. Is there such thing as key fob slipper or protector? Haahaa :D

    Look on ebay under "Prius Hoods" shop. Lady named Robin makes them. $10 each. She has other cool stuff too.:D

    They do make them, I used to have one and gave it away to someone here at PC a year or so ago. But darned if I can find the web site that sold it to me. They're nice simple leather cases with clear front so you can see/press the buttons...you order one of 3 available sizes.

    If I find the site I'll post it, but it's not coming up on the google searches I'm doing. Try searching Priuschat for fob cover and my screen name...it may come up with that.

    Virtually every pair of trousers that I've owned has a "watch pocket," on the right side above the regular pocket, just below the belt line.

    I've never owned a pocket watch. And I suspect that few have in the last fifty years. Why the watch pocket has survived is a mystery to me.

    The Prius fob fits securely in that pocket. I put a 1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch leather tag on the silver ring on the fob so that it is easy to extract. I tuck the tag under my belt.

    I don't use the fob buttons, I lock the car with the door/hatch button.
