Leather smart key case

Any using one of the leather fob case they sell on Etsy? Searching I can only find reviews for the AJT case but did find one picture of a leather case but no reviews.
Just wondering if it added much bulk to the fob or cut down on the range.

 

I didn't know such a thing existed. That's pretty cool. I don't think it would cut down on the range. You could test it by maybe putting the fob in your gf/wife's purse and trying that.

 

I went with a $20 one from Amazon. It has held up well and looks great. Here is my post on it.

 

I've been using something similar for the past ~2 years. I bought it to reduce the wear on the key fob and provide some extra weather protection. I haven't noticed any reduced range but I hardly ever actually use the keys on the FOB. Just gotta have it in your pocket and the truck knows it's you.

 

I found an aftermarket cover for mine, but it's a case that you transfer the buttons and motherboard into. And it's 35 bucks. So I'll just keep mine the way it is.

 

I'm looking for protection without making the fob to bulky.

 

Our 2024 1794 Limited Editions came with a nice, thick Saddleback custom key fob and I haven't noticed any less range in the fob with it.

 

I have the one from Etsy you pictured in a different leather color.
Haven't noticed any reduction in range, but I'm typically not that far away when I use it.
Protects the fob well but does make it slightly bigger.

 

Toyota sells an OEM accessory. Bought one for the LC.

 

I did not know toyota was selling one. I did order one off Etsy

 

Toyota sells several OEM types with 4
Buttons. I’ve purchased Corolla Cross, Crown, and 25 4Runner (pictured)

 

Mine clips to my belt loop on a carabiner. It's rarely in my pocket, so bulk isn't an issue.
2 tone leather looks nicer than black plastic.

 

FTW ..

I had one of the leather ones from Etsy and I hated it. Way too bulky in my pocket. I just put a urethane cover on mine and it protects and doesn't increase the size much.

 

Case finally showed up. Nicely made. Does add a little to fob

 

Go commando. Unless it replaces the case with a slimmer profile, I’m not interested.

 

Doubtful since the range on the fob is very small to begin with. Any less and I'll need to open the door manually LOL. Very surprised by the poor range. Mine is about 50 feet at most.

 

Oh wow, really? Then yeah it would probably cut down the range further. Mine is good for about 100 feet or more. I'll have to check it out sometime. This morning, I have nothing else to do. Lol

 

Hmm. Maybe the battery is weakened and the range is less due to that. I'll get a new battery

 

That never hurts. Good luck!!

 

Good 'ol Amazon. I've had this same one on all of my trucks across many brands and they hold up great without adding a lot of extra bulk.

 

Looks good!

 

I just got the Toyota one, it's listed for a 25 4Runner and the parts guy insisted it wouldn't fit but it fits perfectly. I does add to the bulk but not too bad, surprisingly it was cheaper than most aftermarket ones. I think I paid around $18.

 

Looks great!
